I know the acquittal is supposed to appear in the newspaper but how do is the defendant notified. After an acquittal, does this mean the arrest & the crime never happened? When you are asked if you’ve ever been arrested for a crime can you answer “no”?

you should have the court order dismissing everything. It may show in a criminal history search, but should show dismissal. You have been arrested but not convicted. Usually the question is have you been convicted, so no.

An acquittal if you want copy of the us the us the court will sign judgment of an acquittal if you can get it does not ask about arrests because they mean nothing but.
