This is quite common and a great cop out technique as well. I’m an attorney and one time I found a technical DWI case that I showed to my Judge. We laughed at how stupid it was because how vague the word “motor vehicle” was defined, but that it was technically a DWI.
I asked my Judge what he’d do if I brought this case in front of him and he said he’d purposely find it not guilty so we could appeal to the higher courts and make them decide the case.

What are you talking about? Once a not guilty verdict is rendered, jeopardy attaches to the defendant.
