Probably being a tad pedantic here, but Terry was tried and acquitted under the law, and found guilty of a breach of FA rules of the game which have nothing to do with the law.
Not guilty of an illegal racially aggravated offence, but guilty of abusive language and a reference to race. In his legal defence he admitted to using abusive language and also to using the word black neither of which are inherently illegal but both are still against FA rules.
