How to use "Acquittal" in context?
Acquittal is a term used in law to describe the end result of a criminal case where the individual is not found guilty of the crime charged. Acquittal does not mean, however, that the accused is innocent. In many jurisdictions, an acquittal merely means that the prosecution failed to convince a jury of the individual's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In some cases, an acquittal may also mean that the prosecution did not present enough evidence to support a conviction.
