convicted
Proven guilty legally
Convicted describes someone found guilty of a crime by a court: a convicted felon, convicted of murder.
The word carries the weight of official judgment—not merely accused or suspected, but determined guilty through legal process.
As a verb, to convict is to deliver that guilty verdict: The jury convicted him on all counts.
