conviction

Department of Justice’s long-time offer of a reward for up to $1 million for information leading to an arrest and conviction for the crime still stands.

The Conservatives have suggested Jonathan Powell, the prime minister's national security adviser, had a role in not giving prosecutors evidence they said they needed to secure convictions.

By contrast, the doves seemed steadier in their convictions.

Securing a conviction, though, will be harder because it requires a much higher standard of proof—and because the Justice Department will face questions about its motives.

If a defendant is found guilty, they can mount an appeal to higher courts in an attempt to have their conviction overturned.
