If you pled guilty to a misdemeanor and received summary probation does that mean you were convicted of a crime?
Yes, entering a guilty plea is the same as being convicted of the crime that the person was charged with.
What is the different between being convicted and being charged with a crime?
Being charged with the crime is a formal accusation by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS- In England and Wales) that you have committed a crime. In the USA, the law enforcement or prosecutor charges I am led to believe. Same principle however. *It certainly does not mean you are guilty, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. It then has to go to court for a conviction or acquittal (guilty or not guilty) Thus, a conviction is basically a finding of guilt for the charge by the court (who represent the state and the community at large) that you have committed a crime and are to be punished for such offence, this is sentencing.
What word means to say that a person is guilty of a crime?
In the US, the only time you can say a person is guilty of a crime is after they have been convicted of the crime. Until a person is convicted or admits guilt in a court of law, they are charged with the crime or suspected of the crime.
