Description summary:
The beginning of the description varies depending on the Format of Trial.

Format	Description
0 - Common Law	The jury delivers its verdict in solemn, almost regretful tones. "We find the defendant Guilty as charged."
10 - Trial By Standing	The defendant looks harried and wrung-out – like part of them has been everted and dumped on the courtroom floor for all to scrutinise. And, subject to that scrutiny, they have been found wanting.

Failure

An embarrassing defeat

The jury returns its verdict in a clear, steady voice. "We find the defendent Not Guilty." With relief, the protester is turned loose from the dock, and walks on shaky legs out of the courtroom.
