Pretrial Process 101....Simply the Basics


Comments

  1. This pretrial process is a very important part of our criminal justice system. The main reason we have this is because it is stated in the constitution. It is a very helpful process and it helps out all the other courts because usually most cases are solved in this step and never go in front of a judge for an actual trial. If we didn't have this our court system would be backed up even more than what it is now. And with this it saves people time and money from going through all the other steps when we really only have a 54% conviction rate. Which to me seems bad I think we should have a really high conviction rate because some people will look at this stat and think that we are wrongly arresting people and huge outbreak will happen and it just wouldn't be good for America let alone our criminal justice system.

  2. Basically talkong about our differents courts we have for different tirals. Trails are backed up cause there are so many. Supreme court is the top of all courts. They do not see alot of trials. They talks about how fast they get threw the trial to make it easier on every one. I think this is really good thing to do. I think there are alot of courts to help out pacifice cases. Adelle002

  3. The pretrial process is also known as accusatory process. It takes place after arrest and will take place until trial or plea. It is established in the constitution, it is important competent in the criminal justice process. It can keep cases out of the courts, so only important or necessary cases go to the courts. It's kind of a process of elimination in the criminal justice system. There is a 54% conviction rate in the U.S. The time in booking, lineups, etc is time for pretrial to gather more information. If they go in front of a judge, they go to a preliminary hearing. The judge decides if they need to go to a higher court. oasis_002
