It isn't (just) Emily who says "Not Guilty" at the end- It's the whole jury. Thomas Light was tried in court and found to be innocent.
I'm pretty sure... It does seem to work better that way, as the next song has the masses on the verge of rioting, demanding his blood. They don't think he's innocent, and they want to see him punished. They think he's getting away.
Anyway, this song isn't too hard to understand. Tom is pretty depressed. He's lost his love, his life is ruined, he has nothing left. He says explicitly in the song that he feels like a dead man, and there's nothing left for him anymore. He's practically hit rock bottom. He doesn't care what happens to him. He almost wants to be sentenced to death so he can go join his wife in the afterlife. I don't think there's too much else in this song... it's Tom's lament.
I think you're kinda right about the chorus not being "Just" Emily's voice. The Doctor, however, is ignoring their guilty verdict, and "confessing" his crime. The riot is, from what I understand, because he's spared the death penalty. Therefore, give us the rope is an indication of vigilante mob mentality taking over and wanting the job done themselves.
