What happens after you have given evidence?
If the judge or jury is absolutely sure that the accused has broken the law, they will decide that he or she is guilty. The judge has to decide about any punishment.
If the judge or jury is not absolutely sure whether someone has broken the law, they will say that he or she is not guilty or that the case is not proven. The judge will then tell the accused that he or she is free to leave.
Someone will tell you what the court decides. If you’re not sure about the result or don't quite understand it, you should speak to VIA or the procurator fiscal or lawyer to ask them to explain it to you.
You will have done a very important job. Well done and thank you.
