Well I assume that because you were considered not guilty you are thinking of not mentioning the incident at all. That is fair seeing as you were never found guilty of any defense. A lot of times Not guilty verdicts are still on your record. If you can find a way to get that offense removed from your record then you may not have to mention it. After you get accepted they do a criminal background check and your acceptance is contingent on the findings from that test.

Thank you for the reply
I have no problem mentioning the incident, but will that affect my chance from getting in?
Thank you
