[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>I just wish people would learn the difference between an acquittal and a not guilty verdict.<<

Maybe I missed something...aren’t a “not guilty verdict” and an acquittal the same thing?

Casey was acquitted. She was found “not guilty”.

Am I wrong?

“Am I wrong?”

Yes.

The results are the same but a “Not Guilty” verdict is the jury affirming that guilt wasn’t proven. The not guilty verdict actually is preferable in this case because she can be tried if again if new evidence surfaces.

An aquittal is similar to a not guilty verdict but is a verdict rendered by a judge and retrial can’t happen again no matter what evidence surfaces in the future.
