The defendant enters a plea.
If prosecution does not offer a plea bargain based on first offense, insufficient evidence, testimony, etc. then discovery proceedings begin.
During discovery proceedings there are many motions which will be presented to the court.
If the court does not grant a motion to dismiss based on evidence then a trial date is set.
Trial can be by judge or jury.
