the official police report is the backbone of the criminal prosecution process
A charging document is a pleading that initiates criminal charges against a defendant. It—not arrest—signifies the commencement of a criminal case. Complaints, informations, and indictments are charging documents. Typically, when officers make an arrest, they draft reports, then present those reports to the prosecution.
A prosecution summary is a concise document that outlines the key facts, evidence, and legal arguments in a criminal case from the perspective of the prosecution. It typically includes details about the charges, the nature of the crime, witness testimonies, and any pertinent legal precedents. The summary serves as a tool to inform the court, defense, and other stakeholders about the prosecution's case and supports the decision-making process during trial or plea negotiations.
It is not okay to falsify information on a legal document. Most such documents include information about penalties for doing so and the penalties often involve fines and/or imprisonment if caught.
Notice of intention usually means to make people aware that you are going to proceed with something. In a criminal case the notice of intention usually comes from a prosecutor, judge, or grand jury to notify the defendant(s) that he or she will be prosecuted for the crime for which he/she/they were accused of.
In an information document, the state prosecutor swears that there is sufficient evidence to support the charges against the defendant. This document outlines the specific criminal offenses and provides a basis for the prosecution's case. It serves as a formal accusation and initiates legal proceedings, affirming the prosecutor's commitment to pursue justice based on the evidence presented.
Being arrested on a presentment from criminal court means that a grand jury has formally charged you with a crime based on evidence presented. This type of arrest typically follows an indictment, indicating that the court believes there is enough evidence to proceed with prosecution. The presentment serves as a legal document outlining the charges against you, and you will be required to respond to these charges in court.
