The Criminal Case Process

If you or your loved one is being accused of a criminal offense, we understand that the process may be new to some. Here are the steps of a criminal case:
Investigation and Arrest 

Arraignment: The judge will read the defendant their rights and explain their charges. The defendant will enter a plea at this time of either guilty, not guilty, or no contest. 

Preliminary Hearing: They will decide if there is enough evidence to conduct a formal charge.

Plea Bargaining: The prosecutor, defense lawyer and police attempt to create an agreement resulting in the defendant's plea of guilty to fewer crimes and/or lesser crimes. 

Trial (If the Plea is “Not Guilty"): The cases will be presented in front of a jury. 

Verdict: The jury will decide if the defendant is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.

Sentencing: If not guilty, they will be released. If guilty, sentencing is presented by the judge.
