The jury (or judge) in a criminal trial does not, strictly speaking, find a defendant 'innocent.' Rather, a defendant may be •guilty or •not guilty of the charges brought. In common use, however, owing perhaps to the concept of the •presumption of innocence, which instructs a jury to consider a defendant free of wrongdoing until proven guilty on the basis of evidence, not guilty and innocent have come to be thought of as synonymous.Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage. |
