What is a deferred felony?
A deferred adjudicated felony is where the court "puts off" a finding of guilt. Most often during a deferred adjudication, the person is put on community supervision. If the term is completed without revocation of probation it will remain a deferred adjudicated and not a conviction. It is important to realize that deferred is not a conviction. There was never a finding of guilt by the court.

Does the prosecution and the defense present evidence?
Yes, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence in a trial. The prosecution presents evidence to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defense presents evidence to create doubt or support the defendant's innocence. Both sides have the opportunity to call witnesses, introduce documents or physical evidence, and present arguments to support their case.
Explain the difference between a confession and a admission?
An admission is not the same as a confession.The act of admitting to something is, any voluntary acknowledgment, statement orassertion made by a party to a suit or criminal prosecution that certain facts inconsistent with the party's claims are true. An admission may be express, such as a written or verbal statement by a person concerning the truth, or it may be implied by a person's conduct. Admissions are used primarily as a method of discovery, as a pleading device, and as evidence in a trial.A confession is an acknowledgment of guilt in a criminal case. In criminal law a confession is an admission of guilt by the accused party. It must be freely and voluntarily made after the accused is made aware of his/her rights.
If the prosecution must prove guilt what must the defense prove?
The defense do not have to prove anything, if the prosecution fail to prove guilt, then the defendant is not guilty (in an ideal world). It may be the case thaat a jury may find guilt when a charge has not really been adequately proved to be true, but in this case the judge must direct them to find "not guilty" through lack of evidence.
How is guilt determined in criminal trials?
