单词 verdict
释义
verdict
verdict vere dictum, 'truly said'. The decision of a jury based on its interpretation of the factual evidence led and the law as stated to it by the judge. A verdict of guilty means that the jury is satisfied BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that the accused did the things required to constitute the crime as legally defined. Any other verdict (includ- ing in Scotland NOT PROVEN) is an acquittal and on the basis of the presumption of innocence, the accused can, indeed must, be described as innocent of the charge. In Scotland a bare majority (eight out of fifteen) is required for conviction. In England there must be ten out of 12 for the verdict. The Scottish system has in its favour that it would be more expensive to bribe or terrify the jury and there would be more witnesses to speak to failed attempts.
