If a person was acquitted of a crime, he was what?

  1. Charged with a lesser offense

  2. Freed legally from accusation of criminal guilt

  3. Sentenced to probation

  4. Found guilty but pardoned

The correct answer is: Freed legally from accusation of criminal guilt

If a person is acquitted, it means they have been legally determined to be innocent of the crime they were accused of. This is often the result of a trial where the prosecution could not prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Option A is incorrect because being acquitted does not mean the person was charged with a lesser offense. Option C is incorrect because being acquitted does not involve a sentence of probation. Option D is incorrect because being acquitted means the person was not found guilty, therefore they cannot be pardoned.
