Accepting bribes and telling lies are the offenses that Creon suspects the sentry and Teiresias to be guilty of in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon believes that powerful but secretive enemies oppose him. He feels that they have the money to bribe others to tell lies in order to discredit and overthrow him. He suspects that such is the case in the specific examples of the sentry who guards the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead and of Teiresias the blind prophet's criticisms of the non-burial edict's impact.
Creon is.
Find and punish the guilty in Laius' murder and bury Polyneices and free Antigone are what respectively will lift the pestilence in Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a pestilence afflicts Thebes by the last day of Theban King Oedipus' rule. The Delphic oracle announces that the pestilence will end only with the identification and punishment by execution or exile of the guilty in King Laius' murder. That pestilence is ended, but succeeded by another during the last day of King Creon's rule. Teiresias the blind prophet states that the pestilence will end only with the burial of Polyneices' body and the release of Princess Antigone from her live burial.
That he accuses him of a crime for which the punishment is loss of job if not of life is the reason why Oedipus thinks that Teiresias is a traitor in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. Teiresias the blind prophet charges him with a crime whose victim he never remembers meeting. Killing a king is a serious offense against gods and mortals and results in execution or exile.
That Creon recommends Teiresias' presence and that Teiresias is late are what Oedipus says about summoning Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon asks the chorus leader for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. The chorus leader mentions Teiresias the blind prophet as a valuable information source. Oedipus says that Teiresias' presence already is requested due to Creon's prior recommendation. He also states that Teiresias still is not there despite the sending of two messengers.That he is late is what Oedipus says about summoning Teiresias in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader advises Theban King Oedipus to consult with Teiresias the blind prophet on finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. Oedipus answers that two messengers already have been sent to Teiresias' residence. He indicates that Teiresias already should have been at the palace by now.
That he is Laius' killer is the accusation that Teiresias makes against Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks Teiresias the blind prophet for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. He dislikes Teiresias' answer. Teiresias reluctantly says that Oedipus is the very murderer that all Thebans seek.
The basic decision to be made in an arraignment is whether or not the accused or suspect if you will, pleads guilty or not guilty to the offense or charge(s) made against him.
That IS the verdict: NOT GUILTY.
Creon is.
That IS the verdict, NOT GUILTY
ARRAIGNMENT.
If guilty of the offense, they are guilty of perjury.
Yes, Teiresias complies with Oedipus' request for help in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus asks Teiresias the blind prophet for help in finding the guilty in King Laius' murder. Teiresias initially does not want to share what he knows will anger his sovereign. But Oedipus interprets hesitation as guilty participation in the long unsolved murder. It is at that point that Teiresias tells all.
Three choices: (1) You can fight the charge and hope that you will ultimately be found 'not guilty.' (2) You can admit to the offense and plead guilty. (3) You can try to plea bargain (i.e.: 'cop a plea') with the prosecutor by offering to plead guilty to a lesser crime in exchange for a plea of guilty to that lesser offense.

They can arrest them. of course,but what can they do to prove the suspect is guilty?...like fingerprint?
It means that you were found guilty of an offense you were charged with due to your failure to appear in court.
