This is when a court amends (or makes clearer by some change in wording) a judgment when the original judgment has ambiguities or other confusing wording that may cause the actual intent of the judgment to be seen in a different way. It is basically to clear up any confusion or make clear the intent of the original judgment.
Yes, it is possible to receive a criminal judgment after a civil judgment. Civil cases typically involve disputes between individuals or organizations, resulting in monetary damages or injunctions, while criminal cases are initiated by the government to address violations of criminal law. If the actions that led to the civil judgment also constituted a crime, law enforcement can pursue criminal charges regardless of the civil outcome. Therefore, the legal processes for civil and criminal cases are distinct and can occur independently of one another.
In a criminal appeal, a "reverse final judgment" refers to a decision made by an appellate court that overturns the final judgment of a lower court, typically a conviction. This reversal can occur due to legal errors, insufficient evidence, or violations of the defendant's rights during the trial. As a result, the appellate court may either dismiss the charges, order a new trial, or modify the sentencing. Essentially, it nullifies the prior ruling in favor of the defendant.

Yes, South Carolina does have a provision for Prayer for Judgment (PFJ). It allows a judge to suspend the imposition of a sentence for certain offenses, giving the defendant an opportunity to avoid a criminal conviction. If the defendant successfully adheres to the court's conditions, the charge may be dismissed, effectively allowing them to avoid the negative consequences of a conviction. However, PFJ is not available for all offenses and is typically used for minor traffic violations or misdemeanors.
Withheld adjudication is a legal term used in the criminal justice system where a judge delays or withholds a formal judgment of guilt following a conviction. Instead of entering a conviction, the court may place the defendant on probation or impose certain conditions. If the individual successfully complies with these conditions, the charges may be dismissed, allowing them to avoid a criminal record. This option is often available for first-time or low-level offenses.
