The judgment of a criminal case is handed over to the defendant and his agent, not to his family. The judgment of a criminal case cannot be received on behalf of others (unless it is a minor), and a party must be present to sign for it. The judgment given to the defendant and his attorney is the original. The original is valid. If family members need a judgment, they can ask a lawyer or apply to the court. After going through the relevant formalities in the court, they can get a copy of the judgment from the file, and it is a copy of the judgment stamped with the file seal. Generally speaking, the defendant's family got the verdict, that is, they knew the verdict or got the bail guarantee from the public security organ. Family members who need to obtain a bail bond from the public security organ with the written judgment can use a copy of the written judgment with the seal of the case file.
