He was acquitted, meaning it couldn’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he was guilty.

He was proven liable in the civil trial. The additional evidence uncovered by the lawyers in that case was damning. Civil trials typically don’t require a unanimous verdict, but it was unanimous in this case.
