I like hanging out at this pub once in a while after work. It's off the beaten path and I get a chance to relax for a while.
Acquittal Defined and Explained with Examples. An acquittal is a formal acknowledgement, by a judge or jury, that the defendant is not guilty.
Of course, unlike being found guilty by reason of insanity, when a defendant is found guilty of murder with diminished mental capacity, he is not acquitted. In such an example, a diminished capacity defense may secure him a conviction of second-degree murder instead.
