Arrest – An arrest is when police take a suspect into custody until he or she can be brought before the court. There must be probable cause for a suspect to be arrested. Plea bargain – Plea bargains usually involve the defendant pleading guilty to a lesser charge, fewer charges than originally charged with in an indictment, or a reduced statement. Plea bargaining helps both the prosecution and defense avoid a potentially long, expensive trial. Indictment – An indictment is a formal charge brought by a grand jury or filed by a prosecutor. An indictment is required for capital offenses. The grand jury only hears evidence presented by the prosecutor. The grand jury determines whether there is sufficient evidence to formally charge the defendant. Trial – A trial is held before a judge or a jury. The defendant has the choice whether he or she wants a trial by a jury of peers or before a judge alone, called a bench trial. Evidence is presented by both the prosecution and the defense. Sentencing - The sentencing is determined by the judge. Possible sentences include: a fine, community service, probation, or a period of incarceration in a jail or prison, or a combination of the above. Verdict – The verdict is a decision of guilt or innocence. If a defendant is found guilty, it must be ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’, meaning that the judge or jury is 100% certain that the evidence supports a verdict of guilty. If there are multiple charges, the judge or jury may find the defendant guilty on all or some of the charges or may find the defendant guilty of a lesser charge. Appeal – A defendant found guilty of charges has the right to appeal the verdict to an appellate court. The defendant files an appeal in the hopes that he or she will have the verdict reversed or be granted a new trial. Investigation – Police investigate a crime to gather evidence to identify a suspect and support an arrest. Arraignment – A judge conducts arraignments; this occurs before trial. The defendant makes his or her plea. The most common pleas are guilty or not guilty. Bail – Depending on the crime the defendant is charged with, a judge has the option of granting bail. Bail is money or property that a defendant puts forth as security to make sure they will show up for further criminal proceedings such as trial and sentencing. If the crime is serious or if the judge believes that the defendant may flee out of the court’s jurisdiction, bail may be denied or set so high that it would be impossible to post bail.
