The final judgment is called "adjudication."
If you are legally "Convicted" then Adjudication IS NOT Withheld....the whole reason for a Judge to have the option of Adj With is to stop short of convicting....IF you have a felony charge - and adjudication is withheld - you are not convicted....

No, charges dismissed and adjudication do not mean the same thing. When charges are dismissed, it means that the court has decided not to proceed with the case, often due to lack of evidence or other reasons. Adjudication, on the other hand, refers to the legal process of resolving a dispute or deciding a case, which can result in a verdict or judgment. Therefore, a dismissal does not involve a formal adjudication of the charges.

Adjudication refers to judgments made by the court. The finding of guilt, innocence, and judgment are all instruments to adjudication.
This quote is in Romeo and Juliet (William Shakespeare) and I was wondering what 'starved with her severity' means.
Not necessarily: you can be adjudicated guilty of a crime and only get probation.
