Explanation of acquittal

Acquittal refers to a legal judgment or verdict that declares a person not guilty of the charges brought against them in a criminal trial. It signifies that the prosecution has failed to prove the accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, resulting in their exoneration and release from any criminal liability.
