    Kizer wasn’t “found” guilty. She entered a “guilty” plea back in May.

    Hughes entered a “not guilty” plea, and took her case to trial. A jury agreed with her plight and acquitted her.

    Kizer might have been similarly exonerated by another jury, but she did not avail herself of her right to a trial by a jury of her peers.
