We were talking about the ethics of lawyers, and "acquitted" was clearly used in a legal sense.

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

Sigh.

Go back and read the posts. And think about them. You have it precisely backward.

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".

Yes, found guilty or convicted IS the legal meaning of guilty. the ONLY legal meaning.
