What is the meaning of acquittal?

I’m following the case of Anders Behring Breivik on the news and he believes there can be only two “just” outcomes to his trial - acquittal or the death penalty. Is acquittal a legal term? Also, what does it mean?

Answer #1

Yes it can be used as a legal term. It means judicial deliverance from a criminal charge on a verdict or finding of not guilty.
