A quick definition of wrong verdict:
A verdict is a decision made by a jury or judge in a court case. It can be a finding of guilt or innocence, or a decision on the facts of the case. There are different types of verdicts, such as a general verdict where the jury finds in favor of one party or the other, or a special verdict where the jury makes findings on factual issues submitted to them by the judge. A wrong verdict is a verdict that the law does not authorize a jury to render because the conclusion drawn is not justified by the evidence.A more thorough explanation:
Wrong Verdict
A verdict that the law does not authorize a jury to render because the conclusion drawn is not justified by the evidence.
- A jury finds a defendant guilty of a crime, but there is no evidence to support the verdict.
- A jury finds a defendant not guilty of a crime, but there is overwhelming evidence to support a guilty verdict.
A wrong verdict is a decision made by a jury that is not supported by the evidence presented in court. For example, if a jury finds a defendant guilty of a crime, but there is no evidence to support the verdict, then it is a wrong verdict. Similarly, if a jury finds a defendant not guilty of a crime, but there is overwhelming evidence to support a guilty verdict, then it is also a wrong verdict. Wrong verdicts can be overturned on appeal because they are not based on the evidence presented in court.
