In both Brazilian and American legal systems, partial exoneration is a nuanced legal outcome that occurs when defendants are found not guilty on some charges but guilty on others. In Brazil, this is a recognized outcome in the judicial system and is documented in legal records. In the United States, this is more commonly referred to as 'mixed verdicts' or 'partial acquittals' and reflects the jury's ability to deliberate separately on different charges.
