condemnation
A legal decision, verdict, or judgment rendered by an authority; by extension, the outcome or consequence of a judgment—whether favorable or unfavorable. This can refer to an official judicial sentence, the state of being judged, or the consequences that ensue from such a decision, including both condemnation and acquittal. In particular contexts, it can also carry the connotation of a condemnation, punishment, or the declaration of guilt. The primary sense is of a formal determination or decision, with secondary senses shaped by context (e.g. the punishment itself, or a principle of judgment justified by precedent).
