The context of the conversation wasn't in the legal sense. It did deal with courts of law but the question was
"And getting a guilty person acquitted is good because???"

In your sense of term there could never be a guilty person aquited.

Also they where guilty in the legal sense that they did violate a law. they where not found guilty but "found guilty" or "convicted" is not the same as "guilty".
