Conviction

The term 'conviction' is the outcome of the criminal prosecution that culminates in a decision of the Court. Conviction represents one of two possibilities that typically arise at the end of a criminal proceeding: either the accused will be found guilty or not guilty of the crime with which he/she is charged. Usually conviction is perceived by the people as the state of being found or proven guilty or the act of proving or declaring a person guilty of a crime. Mamun (Md) @ Walid Hasan vs State, 70 DLR 148
