Verdict: Decision by the trier of fact.

Judgment: A decision made by a Judge.

Closing Argument: The attorneys make these to convince the jury to see things their way.

Indictment: The presentation of charges by the prosecutor to the Grand Jury, with a verdict of there being enough evidence to prosecute the case further..

VERDICT!

Verdict. The jury does not do the judgement. That is up to the judge. Closing arguements are done by the attorneys and an indictment is when charges are first brought upon the defendent. I know all of this to be true because I have been through the legal systems procedures as a defendent.

Indictment

Verdict. Deciding the verdict, which means truth, is the rolled of a jury. Grand juries--so called because they are larger then petty (petite) juries which try cases--issue indictments, or statements of charges beginning the criminal process.

"So let me get this straight: science is not determined in a court of law, UNLESS of course, it's Kitzmiller vs. Dover, then it's perfectly fine for the court to decide what's scientific and what isn't? Can you say "double standard"?" Actually, Kitzmiller vs Dover was about whether intelligent design had any sort of scientific backing or if it was just rebranded creationism, and whether it was legal to teach it in schools. There's no double standard here as it was purely a legal matter that was dealt with - is teaching intelligent design in public schools legal. The fact that it exposed intelligent design as simple rebranding of creationism is just an added bonus.

i'd say indictment. the whole trial was probably just suspense for whether or not the person really belonged on trial!
