In pre-trial the prosecution also has the authority to work out a plea agreement between the person and the prosecuting jurisdiction (local, county, state, etc). The defendant also has the right to change their plea (as is the norm with plea deals).Also, pretrials are a time for the judge to get information as to case law, evidence, witnesses. During this phase of justice, witnesses come forth and testify before the Judge.If the pre-trial yields no successful agreements between the defense and prosecution, a criminal trial or bench trial will take place.
