Act by which the guilt or not of someone or the commission or not of a crime is deliberated
The concept of judging has an extended use in our language and is used in two senses with extension.
The most widespread use is found within the scope of the right, since there it is not only used to refer to a typical act of this context, but also represents the means that this area has to finally fulfill its purpose, which is none other than to impart justice when appropriate.
Then, For the Law, judging is the act of deliberating, that whoever has the authority to do so, displays, regarding the guilt or not that a person has in a certain question that is judged, or failing that, it also implies deliberating on the reason that assists you in this or that issue and then issue a decision, that is to say, a judgment in the proceeding.

The judge judges in the framework of a trial
It is precisely in the framework of a trial that a competent authority such as the judge deliberates on an issue to finally issue a sentence. To reach his decision, the judge needs to comprehensively address the case, that is, to know the event, its effects, the people involved, the evidence and the witnesses.
At this point, the interventions carried out by the defendant's defense attorneys and the prosecution and complaint will be key. Each of these will have the mission of arguing with evidence and witnesses why the accused is innocent, or failing that, why he is guilty, respectively.
Once the judge evaluates all this content, he will be in a position to issue his sentence, which in that instance will be final, that is, it can be appealed later but after his opinion his decision must be complied with. If the sentenced person finds guilty, he must comply with the foreseen punishment and if he dictates acquittal, the defendant will be free of guilt and charge and will regain his freedom.
