The verdict is the jury’s formal decision or finding, which is either a finding of guilty or not guilty. The jury reports the verdict to the court, which generally accepts it.
In criminal trials, the jury’s verdict must be unanimous. If all of the jurors cannot agree on a verdict, then there is a “hung jury,” which results in a mistrial.
