Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, and it serves both meanings of the singular: the decisions reached on questions of fact in a civil or criminal case or an inquest, and the looser opinions or judgments anyone may pass. Both meanings are countable, so critics can deliver verdicts as readily as juries return them.
