"not guilty verdict" is a correct and commonly used phrase in written English.
It refers to a decision made by a court or jury that a defendant in a criminal case is not guilty of the charges against them. You can use this phrase anytime you are discussing or reporting on a legal case, specifically when the outcome is a finding of innocence for the defendant. For example: - After a long trial, the jury delivered a not guilty verdict for the accused, much to the relief of their family and supporters. - The judge announced a not guilty verdict, stating that there was not enough evidence to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. - The prosecutor was disappointed with the not guilty verdict, but respected the decision of the jury. - Despite the public outcry, the jury was swayed by the defense's arguments and reached a not guilty verdict for the defendant.
