“Where does the judge say that evidence was insufficient for a verdict? I missed that part.”
The primary cause of your confusion is your insistence on missing the point.
“Also, are we going to start questioning every verdict as if any accusation was true, even when proved differently in court?”
Again, missing the point. Who is talking about every verdict, besides yourself? This is Kevin Spacey specific.
Do you believe that not getting convicted means that the accused did not do the thing that they are accused of?
Is it your personal belief that Kevin Spacey is completely harmless with respect to sexual predation? Does your confidence extend far enough that you would have no qualms about a young male relative of yours work on a movie with Kevin Spacey?
Reading you comment I searched for the differences between being “not guilty” and being “innocent” and boy I didn’t know enough about the US justice system. I thought a “not guilty” verdict was the same as “the guy didn’t do it”. I stand corrected, though. Thanks for your input.
I think I do get the point, but I don’t necessarily agree with it. If a judge doesn’t find Kevin Spacey guilty, why should I? I don’t know him. Being a jerk is different than being an offender. Respecting a judge’s verdict doesn’t make me love the guy, but I’m not gonna keep accusing him of things that can’t be proven.
What if he’s actually innocent? A judge literally said he is.

I’m not sure where you’re from. But that principle by no means is limited to the US but pretty much present in every western country.
