Mar 27, 2008 · The verdict is the decision "guilty or not guilty" (in some courts, other verdicts are possible). The sentence is the punishment imposed as a result of a guilty verdict. A conviction exists when the verdict is "guilty" but not when the verdict is "not guilty." So, the jury might return a verdict of "guilty" when you are tried for murder.
Dec 23, 2015 · Dec 23, 2015. #2. When U.S. juries deliberate, they leave the courtroom. In other words, they go "out" of the courtroom and into the room where they deliberate. They return to the courtroom when they reach a verdict (or decide that they cannot do so.) I cannot imagine a "verdict" walking out the door. Fixed expressions do get mangled, however.
Feb 26, 2018 · Feb 27, 2018. #3. I agree about the difference between "verdict" (guilty or innocent) and "sentence" (the punishment). "Ruling" and "judgement" refer to decisions made by a judge. "Verdict" usually means a decision made by a jury. Many court cases are lawsuits. Party A sues party B, asking a judge to decide something they disagree about.

May 15, 2018 · Central Illinois. American English. May 15, 2018. #2. I hadn’t heard of it, no - it’s a fascinating case. I can’t find anything specific, but it seems to mean that the jury vote on the issue of guilt was a tie: six for guilty, six for not guilty. This apparently resulted in an acquittal under the law of that time and place.

Sep 21, 2010 · Sep 21, 2010. #3. In this example, I would use the singular form because the individual members are not divided. Each member has one opinion or another. It is the singular entity "jury" that is divided. The jury was divided. If I'm thinking about the individul members I would probably use a plural verb. The jury were not able to agree a verdict.

Aug 5, 2010 · Brittany, NW France. English (Midlands UK) Aug 5, 2010. #2. Yes. The usual expression is " the jury is out " = le jury est toujours en train de considérer, n'a pas encore conclu, cette proposition n'est pas encore prouvée... I've never actually heard the jury is in, and it may be a new invention, but it's understandable.
