sentença
A "sentença" is a legal decision issued by a judge or court that resolves a case or a specific issue within a case. It formalizes the court’s judgment, determining whether someone is guilty or liable and what the outcome or penalties are. Essentially, it is the official ruling that decides the rights and obligations of the parties involved, based on the evidence and laws presented during the trial. Once a sentença is given, it guides the next steps for both parties, whether that means implementing the decision or appealing it.
