It would be better English to write: ‘ . . found Not Guilty’ as the newspaper did.

‘Found innocent’ is not bad English – it is completely incorrect in English law. Courts determine whether the prosecuted party is guilty or not so the only outcome is ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’.

Err, yes and the law also states that if you are not guilty you are innocent.
