A sentence is the judgement given by a court that stands as a punishment for the accused party who has pleaded guilty or been found guilty. A judge who has been presented with the facts of the case and given a verdict of guilty by a jury decides a sentence. Sentencing is at the discretion of the judge, except for murder and treason, and the length and severity of a sentence may vary from case to case. The defence can offer mitigating circumstances that may reduce or alter the sentence given, but it cannot be overturned once it is made. In addition to imprisonment, a court may present community punishment, probation orders or hospital orders as the appropriate sentence.
