Conclusion

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter summarises the main conclusions reached in the book and raises a series of questions for further research. In particular, it invites theorists of punishment and evidence law scholars to engage with the question of the justification of intermediate criminal verdicts and, more specifically, of the hypothetical intermediate verdict defended in Chapter 4, conditional acquittal. The chapter argues that, while ‘justice in-between’ is surely not a new idea, there is still value in engaging with it.
