Also known as Yes, guilty, the verdict, Mitya was sentenced.
Dmitri's guilty verdict is the jury's answer at the end of Dmitri's trial. After the court has almost persuaded itself that Fetyukovitch's defense has won, the foreman answers, "Yes, guilty," to the chief question and repeats guilt on every point without mercy. The room first falls silent, then breaks into uproar, while Dmitri cries out that he is innocent of his father's blood, forgives Katya, and calls for pity on Grushenka.
Epilogue I. Plans For Mitya’s Escape
Five days on, the verdict makes Dmitri's escape plan urgent. Katerina tells Alyosha that Ivan's arrangements and money are ready if Dmitri will consent.
Epilogue II. For A Moment The Lie Becomes Truth
Dmitri's sentence leaves him feverish in the hospital division of Dmitri's prison, guarded but allowed visits. He tells Alyosha that he is not strong enough for penal servitude and accepts escape while still condemning himself for it.
Epilogue III. Ilusha’s Funeral. The Speech At The Stone
At Ilusha's funeral, Kolya asks Alyosha whether Dmitri is innocent or guilty, and Alyosha answers that the valet killed Fyodor Pavlovitch. The verdict remains the public fact against Dmitri even as the boys begin to speak of him as an innocent victim.
