when are you convicted of a crime, when a jury finds you or when a judge sentences you?

Answer 1

You are convicted as soon as a jury renders its verdict, assuming that the verdict is not thrown out on appeal. The judge's sentence has nothing to do with whether or not you have been convicted--it is the judge's decision about what the punishment should be for the crime that the defendant has been convicted of committing.

Answer 2

Judge sentences according to what the jury finds. he can set aside a date for sentencing but cannot be other than what the jury finds. Otherwise, why have a jury panel? Makes sense right?

Answer 3

When the Jury finds you guilty

Answer 4

Clarify your statement.

You can get convicted by either...judge, if you waive a jury trial, or by the jury if you request a jury trial.
