Event boundary: this page states only the verdict date and count supported by the court record; it does not recast unconvicted indictment allegations, political labels or promotional claims as jury findings.
How the court record records the verdict
Court order · Background A
Background A of #858 states that the jury convicted Guo on nine counts on July 16, 2024. This is a court document’s record of an earlier proceeding and supports the date and count; the final legal consequences for each count should be checked against judgment #860.
Charges are not the verdict
Verification rule · compare records
The #307 indictment and 2023 DOJ release describe the prosecution’s charges; #858 records the jury verdict; #860 lists the sentence later imposed by the court. Keep the three dates and three source identities separate when reading event coverage.
