The same thing happened to Genovese captain Anthony Antico. He beat robbery/murder charges, but the judge believed that the evidence against him was credible enough to factor into his sentencing for racketeering/extortion.
The way you talk, you just confuse him.

The jury found him not guilty where the proof is beyond a reasonable doubt, that doesn't mean the conduct can't be considered during sentencing in another crime where many factors can be considered. Given the Judge presided over the trial, she is best suited to determine if there was cause to apply it. Sentencing guidelines are advisory and the Judge is by no means bound by it.
