verdict
Significado: The decision reached by a jury or judge at the end of a trial; more broadly, any judgement or opinion formed after consideration.
In criminal trials, the verdict is typically 'guilty' or 'not guilty.' In Scotland, there is a third option: 'not proven.' The term is widely used outside legal contexts to mean any considered judgement, as in 'the critics' verdict on the film was overwhelmingly positive.' Common collocations include 'unanimous verdict,' 'majority verdict,' and 'deliver a verdict.'
