_____-Superior court judge reads charges and accused pleads guilty or not guilty

Answer 1

The accused enters the courtroom and stands before the superior court judge as the charges are read aloud. The judge then asks the accused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. The accused has the opportunity to consult with their attorney before making a plea. If the accused pleads guilty, the judge may proceed with sentencing. If the accused pleads not guilty, a trial date will be set and the legal process will continue.
