This has to do with the way the law works:
In short: lawyers/jurors find one guilty, but the court handles the conviction (officially applying that finding of guilt and it's mandatory consequences)
finding of guilt means the court, or jurors have decided the defendant is guilty of the crime
However, depending on the local law, this does not always lead to conviction - which is the court deciding to officially apply this finding of guilt to the defendant, which is usually accompanied by punishment/sentencing

@setoinlandsea You're welcome, please note that in countries like the U.S., a finding of guilt is essentially synonymous with a conviction
We can also use the word "conviction" more easily as shorthand for "a finding of guilt ", ex.:
"He has three prior convictions for public indecency."
We cannot do this with the phrase"found guilty (of):
He was previously found guilty of...three times.

@NAFFU I see! Now I understand the difference as well as the similarity of the two phrases! In my English-Japanese dictionary, the translation was the same, but my English was corrected by a native English speaker, and I was wondering why.
