See, this just annoys me. If the judge reviews the facts and decides not to convict you, by definition you haven't "committed a crime"! (Clearly I mean that in a legal sense, in the same way that you are "innocent until proved guilty" even if I saw you shoot the guy. Legally I don't get to decide your guilt; only a court can do that.)
