Yes, a trial can proceed even if someone pleads guilty. In some cases, a trial may still be necessary to determine the appropriate sentence or to resolve other legal issues related to the case.
A Juvenile Trial is when you go to court and the jury pleads you guilty with charges or your not guilty with charges.
False. A person can be found not guilty before a trial through various legal mechanisms, such as a pre-trial motion to dismiss charges or a plea bargain where the defendant pleads to lesser charges. Additionally, a judge may rule that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with a trial, resulting in a dismissal of the case.
No, if you plead guilty, you typically do not go to trial. By pleading guilty, you are admitting to the charges against you, and the case can proceed to sentencing without the need for a trial.
When someone pleads guilty by waiver, it means that they give up certain rights. Some of these rights include the right to have a trial before a judge, the right to testify on your own behalf, and the right to appeal an order of the court.
It can be accomplished in three manners: The defendant pleads guilty - the judge declares a mis-trial - or the judge dismisses the charges.
If the accused pleads guilty, he/she may be sentenced to a jail term.
In a criminal trial the jury is the "finder of fact". This means that the jury, as one, determines what to believe and what actually happened. The jury will determine what crime was committed. For example, the jury will determine if a person is guilty of murder or manslaughter.
A cracked trial is when a criminal trial is started, but then abruptly stopped before a verdict is reached because the defendant pleads guilty. It's like getting halfway through a bad movie and deciding to just read the spoilers instead. Saves everyone time and energy, really.
A trial jury hears the evidence in a trial and deliberates to consider a verdict. A grand jury determines whether there is enough evidence for a criminal trial to proceed.
Original answer provided was 'Arraignment'...BUT, if you are taking a quiz for a certain online school in AJ101 and the options are "Booking, Trial, Preliminary Hearing, and Arraignment", they list Booking as the correct answer. Hope this helps.
A criminal case will not go to trial if the defendant pleads guilty at a preliminary hearing or if the prosecution decides to discontinue the case (usually because they think the evidence is not strong enough for a reasonable chance of conviction).
If your ex-boyfriend pleads not guilty to assaulting you, the case will proceed to trial where both sides will present evidence and testimonies. You may be called to testify about the incident, and the prosecution will attempt to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense will seek to cast doubt on the allegations or provide alternative explanations. Ultimately, a judge or jury will determine his guilt or innocence based on the evidence presented.
