Concluded in advance
Predecided describes something determined or settled before the relevant deliberation takes place.
A predecided outcome suggests the process was merely for show—the conclusion was fixed in advance.
The word often carries a note of suspicion or criticism: The jury seemed predecided before hearing the evidence.
