        He was proven liable in the civil trial. The additional evidence uncovered by the lawyers in that case was damning. Civil trials typically don’t require a unanimous verdict, but it was unanimous in this case.

        Not guilty is not the same as innocent.

          Legally or morally?

            Legally. “Found innocent” is a legal conclusion and factually incorrect.

              Criminal trials don’t find defendants “innocent”. They find them not guilty, which is a huge difference. It means the prosecution didn’t bring forward enough evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The presence of doubt means they weren’t found guilty. Not that they were found innocent.
