conviction

No cases have ended in a conviction at trial.

After his conviction, the family court judge ruled that the couple's children would be able to visit their dad in prison after he began his sentence.

Yet he acquired a reputation as a dandy, a clever humorist and an intellectual showman, distinctly apolitical and seemingly a man of no convictions.

Call that what it is: a defensive maneuver, not conviction.

But pardons before convictions have been granted only once in Israel’s history.
