Guilty verdict

A guilty verdict means that a judge or jury has determined, based on the evidence presented in a court case, that the defendant committed the crime they were accused of. This decision signifies that the prosecution has proved the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Once found guilty, the individual may face sentencing, which could include penalties such as fines, probation, or imprisonment. Essentially, a guilty verdict is an official declaration that the person is legally responsible for the alleged offense.
