If someone commits a crime but the judge clears them, are they guilty of committing a crime?

Say I commit identity theft and defraud someone their tax refund.
The judge says, although I really DID do this, I was doing it FOR THE MONEY and not out of malicious intent against the person I defrauded, or something similar.
So, I am declared ‘Not Guilty” even though the act did willfully occur.
The Judge says I’m not guilty. I am completely cleared. So— AM I, then, not guilty ?
