The last Word, so to speak, is given to the jury. If it decides a person is not guilty, there can be no questioning how it came to that conclusion. The person is free of that charge forever.

Another "last Word" is that in a criminal trial, the prosecution gets to make the final closing statement. In that respect , the prosecution has the last Word.
