Not Guilty Plea
In law, a plea is a defendant's response to a criminal charge. A defendant may plead guilty or not guilty. Depending on jurisdiction, additional pleas may be available, including ''nolo contendere'' (no contest), no case to answer (in the United Kingdom), or an Alford plea (in the United States). Under common law systems, a defendant who pleads guilty will be convicted if the court accepts the plea. The court will then determine and impose a sentence. Plea bargaining involves discussions between the prosecutor and defendants to reach an agreement for a guilty plea in exchange for a more lenient punishment. In civil law jurisdictions, a confession by the defendant is treated like any other piece of evidence. A full confession does not prevent a full trial or relieve the prosecutor from presenting a case to the court. Types of plea The most common types of plea are "guilty" and "not guilty". In some legal systems pleading guilty can result in a more lenient punishment for th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acquittal
In common law jurisdictions, an acquittal means that the criminal prosecution has failed to prove that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the charge presented. It certifies that the accused is free from the charge of an offense, as far as criminal law is concerned. The finality of an acquittal is dependent on the jurisdiction. In some countries, such as the United States, an acquittal prohibits the Double jeopardy, retrial of the accused for the same offense, even if new Evidence (law), evidence surfaces that further implicates the accused. The effect of an acquittal on criminal proceedings is the same whether it results from a jury verdict or results from the operation of some other rule that discharges the accused. In other countries, like Australia, Canada and the UK, the prosecuting authority may appeal an acquittal similar to how a defendant may appeal a conviction — but usually only if new and compelling evidence comes to light or the accused has int ...

Not Guilty (1908 Film)
''Not Guilty'' () is a 1908 French short silent film credited to Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 1301–1309 in its catalogues. An analysis in a Centre national de la cinématographie (CNC) guide to Méliès's films concludes that the film was probably directed not by Méliès but by an employee of his, an actor known as Manuel. The copy reviewed for the CNC guide proved to be edited non-chronologically, with the scenes out of order; this condition suggests that ''Not Guilty'' was one of a batch of films Méliès's team produced in a hasty assembly line fashion, and sent to America before it had been edited into shape. Plot Cast * Georges Méliès Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès ( , ; 8 December 1861 – 21 January 1938) was a French magic (illusion), magician, toymaker, actor, and filmmaker.
