Judgment in a Criminal Case is the court's decision in a criminal proceeding. The judgment determines the guilt or innocence of the accused and, if the accused is found guilty, may impose a sentence or order restitution, fines, or other forms of punishment. There are two main types of judgment in a criminal case: a guilty verdict and an acquittal. A guilty verdict is a finding of fact that the accused has committed a crime as charged. An acquittal is a finding of fact that the accused is not guilty of the crime as charged. Depending on the jurisdiction, there may also be other judgments, such as a dismissal or a conviction but with a suspended sentence.
