After a defendant is found guilty, the court typically proceeds to sentencing, where the judge determines the appropriate punishment based on various factors, including the nature of the crime, any prior criminal history, and statutory guidelines. The defendant may also have the opportunity to present mitigating factors that could influence the sentence. Following sentencing, the defendant has the right to appeal the conviction or the sentence if they believe there were legal errors during the trial. Depending on the case, the defendant may be taken into custody immediately or allowed to remain free until the appeal process is completed.

Can you plead guilty without elocution?

Usually, a guilty plea from a defendant is entered as a result of a deal that is reached between the defense and the prosecution. In many cases, plea agreements like this offer the defendant a lesser sentence if they enter a gulity plea voluntarily. For the most part, prosecutors will insist that the defendant stand before the court and elocute to the crime. If the defendant refuses, this would most likely invalidate the plea agreement. In cases where no plea bargain is in play, the defendant cannot be forced to say anything at all. They can stand on the 5th amendment and exercise their right to remain silent until the cows come home.
