 | Your next court date will be the Pre-Prelim Date. Here you will
receive a "deal" from the DA. If The "deal" is rejected |
| The next court appearance will be your Preliminary Hearing. This is
where the DA will put on just enough evidence to convince a Judge that a
crime occurred and you might have some involvement in the crime. |
| Next you will go through anther arraignment. At this time you will
usually be given three court dates: 1) Motions, 2) Readiness,
3) Trial |
| The Motions date is a time for the attorney to bring any
applicable motions in your case, such as a motion to suppress evidence,
motion to suppress statements made, etc. Your attorney can give you a
better idea of what motions might be applicable to your case. |
| The Readiness date is where you will receive your final "deal". |
| The Trial date is where a jury is chosen and all evidence is
presented. The jury will then decide guilt or not guilty. |
|
|
| Your next court date will be the Settlement Conference date. Here a
"deal" will be offered |
| If you reject the deal, then you will return for your Trial date. |
