Notes

判处 is used exclusively in formal legal language and is not used in everyday conversation outside of legal or news contexts. It implies an official judgment by a court. Avoid confusing 判处 with 判决, which means 'to judge' or 'to decide' a case but does not specifically mean sentencing.

When using 判处, the sentence structure typically places the punishment immediately after the verb, making it clear what the court's decision is.
