If someone is found not guilty, it means that they have been acquitted of the charges against them. Synonyms for "found not guilty" include cleared, exonerated, acquitted, absolved, vindicated, and declared innocent. Each of these terms suggests that the person in question is no longer under suspicion of having committed the crime they were accused of, and that they have been fully exonerated in the eyes of the law. While being found not guilty is a positive outcome for the accused, it is also a reminder of the importance of due process and the need for evidence to support any accusations.
