This would be an issue of terminology. Each term is not necessarily interchangeable under the law. Terms like Guilty, Innocent, Not Guilty, Acquitted, Exonerated, each have specific meaning. Simply because the State dismissed the charges does not mean that you have been found not guilty, or that you have been exonerated.

Neither. You were found neither guilty nor not guilty. The charges were dismissed without a finding either way.

Where a conviction was vacated upon appeal, remanded, then the uproven charge dismissed by the prosecutor, there would be no conviction on that charge.
