When someone is acquitted, it means they’ve been told they didn’t do something wrong, like when a teacher checks your homework and finds out you didn’t make any mistakes, so you get a star. Imagine a big game where a referee is checking if a player followed all the rules. If the referee finds the player did everything right, the player is acquitted, and they can keep playing happily.

Think of a courtroom like a big classroom where everyone is trying to figure out if someone broke the rules. The judge is like the teacher, and if they decide the person didn’t break any rules, the person is acquitted. This means they can leave the classroom without any worries.

Picture a puzzle where everyone is trying to find the missing piece. If someone is accused of hiding it but then shows they didn’t, they are acquitted. Now everyone can see they were telling the truth, and they can join in the fun again. Being acquitted is like being told you did nothing wrong and can keep playing the game.
