Lol. So now an acquittal is not a not guilty verdict? You?re a special kind of stupid, Dipshit.

If you want to be specific about it, an acquittal isn't necessarily a not guilty verdict-it is a verdict that finds a lack of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. On the other hand a not guilty verdict is, by default, also an acquittal.

Just like Trump doesn?t really actually have a nuke button on his desk, right?

"Not guilty" and "acquittal" are synonymous?
https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-s-the-difference-between-acquittal-guilty-verdict.html

In the link you posted: "A not-guilty verdict isn?t the only way for an acquittal to come about. Trial judges and appeals courts can, for example, effectively acquit defendants by finding that there was insufficient evidence of guilt"

Some may say it is synonymous-but that isn't accurate. Not surprising given that accuracy isn't really desired here as it gets in the way of desired perspective, but nonetheless we persist.

I didn’t say it. The legal system did. Damn that legal system.

Now, quick, saying something about it not being the “legal system” and post some bullshit about how Yanni doesn’t actually play a saxophone.

Amazing to watch some of these bozos split hairs to the electron microscope level.

Funny how folks will pour through obscure court documents to find unsourced spurious claims to offer as legitimate-but then when someone points out specifics of the language we're splitting hairs.

By all means, continue the struggle against tyranny.

The govern!emt stepped on it's own dick. Bundy got lucky. I

If the government was serious about correcting this fuck up they'd go back and round up his cattle that are still on govt land. Just as was ordered to be done in the first place.
