    They found him not guilty. As in not enough evidence. Factual innocence is different. As in we have plenty of evidence he is innocent.

      True, not guilty is more accurate. I was in the mindset of innocent until proven guilty, so used that term. Your wording makes more practical sense though. Just because a jury didn’t find Casey Anthony guilty of killing her child doesn’t mean she didn’t kill the child.
