If someone is found not guilty by a jury of their peers in a criminal trial, is that proof that they are not guilty?

"beyond reasonable doubt" is an interesting phrase. doesn't connote guilt.

don't avoid jury duty; it's actually an incredible, though brief, insight into how the legal system works.

Yes you troll. But not guilty does not mean innocent. 2 totally different things.

Fwiw, I was on a jury for a week in a case dealing with a serial armed robbery. On several counts I went against the vast majority of my fellow jurors and said he was not guilty. The majority was large enough however to rule him guilty.
