Judge Mathis awarded the plaintiff 5000 bucks but didn't order the defendant to return his own leg back to the plaintiff. One of the most hilarious episodes ever. LOL I am the defendant in that case and yes, it was quite bizarre. It took Judge Mathis several attempts to reach a verdict as there was no precedence. Many law schools were blogging as to whether it was an actual body part and whether or not the auction was legal. The real estate warehouse knew of the leg and continued the sale.

I'm trying to find this song too but i can't. Someone help please?
serve in court and listen to what the defendant and the verdict has to say
I am going to assume this has to deal with criminal law as it is in the "Crime and Criminal Law", so this information does not apply to civil (Though it is similar). The good news is that if a jury returns a verdict of not guilty, that is it - the defendant is not guilty on those charges. It can never be overturned (Assuming there is not some type of jury problem and there is a retrial). Basically, an appeals court can never overturn a not guilty verdict when it is returned by a jury. This is based on the doctrine of claim preclusion. If someone could be tried twice on the same charges, this would be a deprivation of the 14th amendment due process right afforded to the defendant by the state. There are some instances to take note of, however. One being when the jury returns a guilty verdict, and the judge grants a motion notwithstanding the verdict (Essentially overturning the jury's verdict and finding the defendant not guilty). This CAN be appealed and overturned. This is not subject to claim preclusion. Good luck.
The Defendant in a cross claim by Vineetha Susan Thomas
The verdict is 'Guilty.' The finder of fact (usually a jury) has to feel that the evidence proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
convicted, or conviction - a conviction is the verdict that results when a court of law finds a defendant guilty of a crime.
"Judgment for Defendant" means that the defendant wins the case. In a criminal case, a judgment for defendant would be a "not guilty" verdict (usually). In a civil case, it would usually mean that the defendant does not have to pay money to the person who sued him or her (known as the "plaintiff").
Will the Defendant rise and face the jury!
Miss Rachel is devastated by the guilty verdict, feeling that justice has not been served. She is disillusioned by the legal system and feels deeply for the defendant.
Verdict
the role of the jury is to deiced if guilty or not guilty.
Sort of a loose slang expression that means that the decision went in favor of the defendant.
The defendant files an Answer to the Complaint. If the defendant wants to make a claim against the plaintiff a Counterclaim may be filed as well. If there are several defendants and the defendant wants to make a claim against one of them, a Cross-claim is filed. If the defendant wants to make a claim against a person who is not named in the suit, a Third Party Complaint is filed. If the defendant files an Answer only, plaintiff is not required to file any further pleadings.
