In reply to:

my impressions of Not proven is all the jurors agree-- they want to find you guilty-- but didn't think the case made was strong enough to prove beyond reasonable doubt--so it was still debatable-- Unlike an acquittal, Not guilty-not proven didn't quite clear your name.


My impression is more the opposite, that the jury knew damn well you did it but didn't think you should be punished. Somebody, I forget who, defined it as "Not guilty, but don't do it again."
