This case is a great example of a simple, fundamental aspect of criminal court cases. There's three verdicts that can happen:
1. Found Guilty
2. Found Not Guilty
3. Found Innocent
If you're guilty in a criminal case, the prosecution has proven without a reasonable doubt that you have committed the crime.
If you're not guilty in a criminal case, the prosecution has found evidence that insinuates a guilty subject, but does NOT have enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
If you're found innocent, the defense has proven without a reasonable doubt that the person is innocent.
In this case, it's obvious that the plaintiff's prosecutors couldn't find enough evidence to prove him guilty without a reasonable doubt. <B>This does not mean Jacko is innocent...it means there is not enough evidence to prove him guilty 90% or more</B>. He may have won the court case, but he is anything but innocent by the court of law.
I don't know anything about his trial, but again, this is a perfect example of how our legal system works and how it is upheld.
