What is a likely outcome for a case in criminal court?

Suspension without pay
Possible imprisonment and fines
Community service only
Mandatory rehabilitation programs

The correct answer is: Possible imprisonment and fines

In a criminal court context, the primary objective is to determine whether an accused individual is guilty of committing a crime, which typically carries penalties defined by law. A likely outcome of a case in criminal court includes potential imprisonment and fines because the criminal justice system is designed to impose substantial consequences for illegal actions. These penalties serve both as a form of punishment and a deterrent against future criminal behavior. The possibility of imprisonment reflects the seriousness of the offense, while fines may be imposed as a financial penalty that acknowledges the harm done to society. The other potential outcomes, such as suspension without pay, community service only, and mandatory rehabilitation programs, are more commonly associated with civil or administrative processes rather than direct outcomes in a criminal court. While these measures can be part of a criminal sentence in specific cases, they do not represent the broad range of penalties typically assessed in criminal cases, which include imprisonment and financial fines.
