Google patent loss: no guilt

Google patent loss: no guilt

Is "schuldig" just for the verdict of a criminal trial, or also for the emotion? I.e. if you're supposed to be on a diet and you give in to your craving and eat a whole cheesecake, do you feel schuldig?

I remember now that another term used in legal circles for what a criminal court decides is "liability," as in, "the accused is criminally liable." "Liable" is the same word to refer to simply owing someone money, guilt-free.
