Find not guilty after a trial (6)

I believe the answer is:

acquit

(Other definitions for acquit that I've seen before include "Find not guilty" , "Pronounce not guilty of criminal charges" , "Free from captivity, being innocent" , "Release" , "Free (from charge)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
