Reminds me of the Scottish verdict of "Not Proven" where it means, we think you did it, but they did not quite prove it.
Also the US standard of Civil Liability

Where there is not enough evidence to convict you in a criminal trial where it has to be proven "beyond a reasonable doubt", but you can be found guilty in a civil trial where the burden of proof is the "balance of probabilities"

OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder in a criminal trial but found culpable in a civil case
