When a crime is reported or uncovered, the police will firstly investigate it. Whether the person charged with the crime is prosecuted depends on The Crown Prosecution Service. CPS make decisions on prosecution based upon two tests:
If it is decided that your case has to go to trial, the evidence and facts pertaining to your case will be reviewed by a magistrate or judge. They will examine documents from the police, CPS and criminal defence solicitors, using these documents as a basis for a decision. Witness statements, exhibits (i.e. weapons used etc) and the indictment which displays the charges brought by the CPS will also be taken into consideration
During a jury trial, the judge facilitates the selection of the jury and provides them with direction on matters of law.
Upon commencement of the trial, the prosecution and criminal defence lawyers will present their case. A judge will manage the proceedings and upon submission of all the evidence, the judge will summarise. The judge sets out for the jury the law on each of the charges made and what the prosecution must prove for the jury to find the defendant guilty.
If the defendant is found guilty, the judge will determine a sentence, considering the circumstances of the case and the impact on the witness. They will underpin their decision with legal sentencing guidelines.
Our criminal defence solicitors will provide you with optimum expert advice and representation, ensuring your voice is heard whilst supporting you through every step of this process. We will work with you to fully prepare your defence, taking a proactive approach in establishing you in a positive manner to the judge and jury.
