Spanish translation:inocente por falta de pruebas
Explanation:
"Not guilty" is "inocente" for sure. w/p seems to mean without proofs.

Aunque la respuesta de "with prejudice" era muy plausible, sin embargo aquí parece más bien que le han absuelto por falta de pruebas. Luego se le volvió a juzgar, así que "with prejudice" no parece cuadrar aquí. De todas formas, muchas gracias por las valiosas referencias.

Disculpas por lo vapuleado del español que aparece en mi referencia, pero no se debe a mí sino al colega que tradujo este sitio Web sobre el derecho penal de Alaska, conseguido a través de Yahoo. Ah... la Red, la Red...

  -> Es cierto, si fuera "without" sería "w/o". La ref. de Inés me hizo darme cuenta de eso. Entonces se trata de de "with prejudice".
