What is another word for finds not guilty?
Pronunciation: [fˈa͡ɪndz nˌɒt ɡˈɪlti] (IPA) 
When a court finds someone not guilty, it means that they have been acquitted of a charge of wrongdoing or criminal offence. Some synonyms for the phrase "finds not guilty" include exonerates, absolves, clears, acquits, vindicates, and releases. These terms all essentially have the same meaning, which is to declare someone innocent of the charges against them. The use of these different words can help to convey different nuances in meaning. For example, if someone is exonerated, it suggests that they are completely blameless and innocent, while being acquitted is more of a legal term indicating that there was insufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
