D. If the defendant pleads guilty or is convicted after the trial, the court must render judgment thereon, fixing the penalty within the limits prescribed by the applicable ordinance and imposing sentence accordingly.
E. At the close of trial, judgment must be rendered immediately by the judge who shall cause it to be entered in his docket.
F. If judgment is of acquittal, and the defendant is not to be detained for any other legal cause, he must be discharged at once.

Thereupon, the same remedies shall be available for the enforcement of the judgment as are available to any other judgment creditor. (2000 Code § 6-126)
