Interesting. I've often wondered why there is a distinction made.

You may find someone one of two things when you sit on a jury in a
case like this, "Guilty" or "Not Guilty."

There is no finding of "Innocence." The foreman is not going to stand
up and say, "We find the defendant innocent." Ever.

"Not Guilty" *does not* mean "Guilty, but we couldn't prove it."

Innocence is supposed to be the the presumption and "Not Guilty" is
the upholding of that presumption by a verdict.

They are essentially equal.
