What is a juvenile trail?
A Juvenile Trial is when you go to court and the jury pleads you guilty with charges or your not guilty with charges.
Is this statement true or false you can only be found not guilty after a trial.?
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.
If you plead guilty, do you still go to trial?
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.
What does guilty by waiver mean?
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.

What is a cracked trial?
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.
What is the jury supposed to do?
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.
At which stage in the criminal justice process does the defendant enter a plea?
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).
What happens in court if your ex boyfriend pleaded not guilty to assaulting you?
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.
