trial outcomes
Trial outcomes refer to the final decision or verdict after a court case, determining the guilty or not guilty of the defendant based on the evidence presented. If the evidence proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, the defendant is found guilty; if not, they are acquitted or found not guilty. In civil cases, the outcome might involve one party winning and receiving compensation or relief. Outcomes can also include dismissals or settlements before a decision is made. Essentially, trial outcomes resolve legal disputes by applying the law to the facts, leading to a formal judgment that guides future actions or responsibilities.
