Note
One regular spelling does double duty. It serves as the simple past in active clauses (the jury convicted him) and as the participle after be or have (he was convicted; she has convicted two). The charge follows of: convicted of fraud, convicted of the same robbery. The form can also carry the verb's older persuading sense, of being brought to believe something. And it supplies the definition of the noun convict: a person convicted of a crime.
