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.
The verdict indicates that the defendant is either free from or accountable to the law's penalty for that crime. Thus the result is either vindication or condemnation. Condemnation can refer either to the legal status of liability to punishment or to the actual infliction of that punishment. At times the word is also used in a broader context to refer to negative evaluations of a person by peers or by one's own conscience.
