Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "condemnation" with "punishment". "Condemnation" is the strong negative judgment or words about something, not the actual penalty. For example, "There was condemnation of the crime" (people strongly said it was wrong) is different from "He received punishment for the crime" (he went to prison, paid a fine, etc.).

Частая ошибка:
Learners may use "condemnation" here when they only mean "criticism". In a legal context, "condemnation" is a formal judgment of guilt and punishment, not just people saying the crime is bad. Use context (words like "court", "judge", "trial") to signal the legal meaning.
