   In law, a verdict is the formal finding of fact made by a jury on matters or questions submitted to the jury by a judge. In a bench trial, the judge's decision near the end of the trial is simply referred to as a finding. In England and Wales, a coroner's findings used to be called verdicts but are, since 2009, called conclusions (see Coroner § Conclusions (previously called verdicts)).

Examples of verdict in a Sentence

1. Ramy Ghanem:

   This is a very appropriate and clear verdict on people that committed the crime, this, in fact, was the maximum sentence for the charges. The surprise was the acquittal.

2. Merseyside Detective Sergeant Graeme Kehoe:

   We welcome today's verdict and sentence, now that Ryan Palin is behind bars, [he] can no longer peddle huge amounts of drugs and misery on the streets of Merseyside and beyond.

3. Chuck Schumer:

   The verdict of this kangaroo court will be meaningless. By refusing the facts, by refusing witnesses and documents the Republican majority has placed a giant asterisk, the asterisk of a sham trial, next to the acquittal of President Donald Trump, written in permanent ink, acquittal in an unfair trial with this giant asterisk, the asterisk of a sham trial, is worth nothing at all to President Donald Trump or anybody else.

4. Will Trump:

   The incoming administration will take office just as the latest ObamaCare enrollment tally comes in, delivering a potentially crucial verdict about the still-shaky healthcare marketplaces …. The Obama administration has struggled for several years to bring young, healthy people into the marketplaces, which is needed to offset the medical costs of older and sicker customers. These problems are coming to light this year, as insurers get their first full look at ObamaCare customer data. Some, like UnitedHealth Group, say they’ve seen enough, and are already vowing to leave the exchanges …. experts warn that if the numbers don’t improve this year, more insurers could bolt. That would deal a major blow to marketplace competition, while also driving up rates and keeping even more people out of the exchanges.

5. Viktor Safyanov:

   Of course, we value the verdict of the Serbian and Russian governments, but for me and many of my colleagues, what's important is the verdict of the people.
