The Criminal Law Process
Here is a brief overview of the stages you might encounter during a criminal law process. Please note: each case is unique and may not follow these steps in order.
- Police Investigation: This is the initial stage where law enforcement agencies collect evidence about a crime and name potential suspects. During this phase, legal representation can ensure your rights are protected and assist in communication with the police.
- Court Proceedings: After charges are laid, court proceedings commence. This can involve several appearances in court, where the charges will be read, pleas will be entered and case management issues will be addressed.
- Plea Negotiations: This occurs when your lawyer and the prosecutor discuss the charges and evidence. Plea negotiations may lead to a reduction in charges or a recommended sentence upon a plea of guilty.
- Trial: If an agreement cannot be reached during plea negotiations, a trial will be conducted. Lawyers will present your case, cross-examine prosecution witnesses and strive to ensure the best possible outcome for you.
