When a defendant is found guilty, it means that the jury (or sometimes judge) believe that there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed whatever crime he/she was being charged with.Generally, the judge will schedule the next court hearing, known as "Sentencing", and a notice will be sent to the Court Services Office (or a similar department).The defendant may have to speak with a Court Services Officer. If the defendant does not know whether to do this or not, they should ask their attorney.The Court Services Office is going to draft a report of the defendant's criminal history, known as a "Pre-Sentencing Investigation" (or PSI), and send that to the judge.At sentencing, the judge will determine the correct punishment that the defendant need to face for their crime. Whatever punishment the judge decides will be carried out immediately after the hearing, unless specified otherwise by the judge.
