Can an acquittal happen before trial?
It can't be acquited before trial (unless the questioner has used the wrong wording). Acquit means to find a defendant in a criminal case not guilty. The decision to exonerate the defendant may be made either by a jury or a judge after trial. It can only be dismissed before trial. A judge can decide that the facts of the case are insufficient to sustain the charge or that the facts presented by the prosecution are either faulty or are insufficient to proceed. A judge can dismiss a case in two ways - WITH prejudice - meaning the offense cannot be re-filed against the defendant, and - WITHOUT prejudice which means that the charge CAN be re-filed after it is amended.
What is the difference between an acquittal and a mistrial in a legal case?
An acquittal occurs when a defendant is found not guilty of the charges against them, usually due to lack of evidence or proof of innocence. A mistrial, on the other hand, happens when a trial is terminated without a verdict due to a procedural error or misconduct that could affect the fairness of the trial.
In which kind of trial, jury or bench, does a defendant have a better chance of acquittal?

Can you file summary judgment for criminal cases?
In criminal cases, the concept of summary judgment does not apply as it does in civil cases. Instead, pre-trial motions such as motions to dismiss or motions for judgment of acquittal may be filed. These motions can challenge the sufficiency of the evidence or legal grounds for prosecution. Ultimately, criminal cases are decided by a jury or judge at trial, rather than through a summary judgment process.

Is it possible to have a fair trial in the media?
No, it's not. A trial in a court is preferable because there are rules for procedure and evidence, conviction or acquittal. In a trial in the media, there are no rules (especially if you use "sources say").
