Verdict
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. (see Black's Law Dictionary, p. 1398 (5th ed. 1979) The term, from the Latin veredictum, literally means "to say the truth" and is derived from Middle English verdit, from Anglo-Norman: a compound of ver ("true," from the Latin vērus) and dit ("speech," from the Latin dictum, the neuter form of dīcere, to say).
In a criminal case, the verdict is either a "not guilty" or a "guilty" finding, except in Scotland where the verdict of "not proven" is also available. Different counts in the same case may have different verdicts.

When the verdict of a trial has become predictable, and the need to say it in so many words is unnecessary.
Oh, its so verdictable.
Verdicts
A sucky pop-punk band from West side. They are composed of women, one a Jew, one's an awkward woman, another used-to-be member looks like a terrorist, their singer is a beaner, and their bassist resembles Kim Jong Il. They have unnecessary beef against Chicago Skyline and the Earth. They all drive Hondas and Smart Cars.
*In Korea* LOOK! IT'S THE GUY FROM VERDICTS!

Did you hear? Benny managed to get a good lawyer and walked on all charges; & you just KNOW he was the one who stabbed the guy, even though the jury gave him a not guilty verdict!
Yeah, but then the guy's family shot him in the head the day after he was let out of jail -- that was the REAL verdict, man, a brass verdict!
Fuck him, piece of shit, anyway!
