Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: Definition of ''Judification of Guilt Withheld''

What you're referencing is most likely: "Adjudication of Guilt Withheld", meaning the court did not make a formal finding for the record i.e., an adjudication, that the defendant was guilty (of the crime charged) and that he should be sentenced, accordingly. In some jurisdictions this is the equivalent of Probation Before Judgment or Suspended Imposition of Sentence, remedies which allow the defendant to escape the charges without any record if he fully complies with all conditions ordered by the court.
