Criminal Justice Process

The criminal justice process includes both pre-trial and post-trial hearings as well as the trial itself. Cases can be complex and for that reason defendants who cannot afford an attorney are often provided with legal counsel. This is felt to better assure that rights are protected. The criminal justice process ends in either a dismissal or a conviction, unless the case is settled by way of a plea agreement. However, in cases of a conviction or dismissal, the case can be appealed and will proceed until all appeals are complete.
