The United States Constitution affords the criminally accused the right to trial by jury. During pretrial motions the accused may be offered a plea bargain or court adjudication rather than conviction. In this case the defendant waives their right to trial and the case closes.

What happens if you dont pay a bail?
It depends. There is something called a speedy trial clock. That means tht the state needs to be ready for trial within a certain amount of time. This does not mean that you will actually go to trial in that time, just that the government must be ready. In most states, the speedy trial clock runs faster when you are in jail. So, if you don't make bail, you sit in jail... but the government usually has less time to be ready with your case. If you cannot make bail, your lawyer can ask for a reduction from th judge.

What does time served mean in court?
While everyone is supposed to get a speedy trial, justice sometimes moves slowly, and someone who has been arrested may end up spending time in jail awaiting their trial date. But once they have their trial, the court may decide that the time the person was already in jail is enough. This sometimes happens with relatively minor crimes. In such a situation, even though the person has been found guilty, the judge may sentence the defendant to "time served"-- in other words, the time the person spent in jail is long enough, and no additional jail time will be given.
