https://cacontology.projectvic.org/legal-outcomes#ConvictionRecord
A durable record that a person was convicted of one or more criminal charges (e.g., by jury verdict, bench trial, or plea agreement). Used for current-case dispositions and for limited prior-conviction history relevant to charging or sentencing. Trauma-informed modeling: store only structured legal facts needed for interoperability; do not encode graphic offense narrative in this class. Modeled as gUFO Object.

| cacontology:jurisdiction | owl:DatatypeProperty | Legal authority scope of an investigation, proceeding, agency, or action (e.g., 'federal', 'E.D. Wis.', 'Victoria, Australia'). Declared once at core level to consolidate the per-module string variants; for structured jurisdictional entities use cacontology-multi:Jurisdiction and its subclasses. | xsd:string |
| cacontology:located_at | owl:ObjectProperty | Direct edge from an entity to a location. UCO idiom alternatives: uco-core:Relationship with kindOfRelationship 'Located_At', or uco-action:location for Actions; this property supports direct edges where a reified Relationship is unnecessary. | uco-location:Location |
