verurteilten
"Verurteilten" means "convicted" in English.
This usage refers to a legal context where 'verurteilten' signifies delivering a legal judgment or sentencing someone.
Der Richter verurteilte den Angeklagten zu einer Geldstrafe.
The judge sentenced the accused to a fine.
In this instance, 'verurteilte' is used to express strong disapproval or condemnation of an action.
Sie verurteilte die Handlung als unmoralisch.
She condemned the act as immoral.
Here, 'verurteilten' again means disapproval or critique, often prematurely and without consideration.
