Verdict
law, a verdict indicates the judgment of a case before a court of law.
In a criminal case, the verdict is either an acquittal (Not Guilty) or a conviction (Guilty), except in Scotland which also has the verdict of Not Proven available to a jury.
Different counts may have different verdicts, and a conviction will be followed by sentencing.
In a civil case, the verdict may be a judgement such as ordering one party to pay money to the other.
