Now he can rest knowing his wife's killer is dead.
Ooooooo that's good
He was proven innocent in court
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.
Proven innocent literally is not a thing in court, that's not how that works
