But don't you agree that if we're talking strictly about legal guilt, it's impossible for a guilty person to be acquitted? No, I don't like the way that sentence is constructed. Sorry. They're legally "not guilty" until they are convicted, so if they were never convicted, they were never legally guilty. How's that? And then there is the whole problem with reversals and remands. Say, the jury found a person guilty but the indictment was defective or the law unconstitutional or the lawyer slept through the trial. Oh, it's too nice a day to argue about all this, at least it is here.
