If you are using innocent and guilty in a non-legal sense, you are correct. If you are using them in a legal sense, which is the context in which the discussion was taking place, you are not correct.

Let me expand on my earlier post. You can say, often of a young girl, tht she is sweet an innocent. Non-legal usage. You can say of a person that he or she is guilty of rude behavior, which is obviously not a crime, so the term is not used in a legal context. But in a legal context, a person who is found not guilty of a specific crime is innocent of that crime. Period.
