Not at all. "Not guilty" doesn't mean "you didn't do it", it means "there isn't enough evidence to prove that you did it beyond reasonable doubt".

You can be convicted because of lots of little things where each little thing on its own is not proven beyond reasonable doubt, but there is enough evidence that you are guilty beyond reasonable doubt for the whole mess.
