Stages In New Jersey And Pennsylvania Criminal Cases

If you’ve been accused of a crime in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, see a criminal defense lawyer, immediately. There are some parts of the process you should understand, including:

• Silence is golden: Any statements you give to the police, to the prosecution, to the store or to anyone can and will be used against you. You have the right to remain silent.
• Arraignment: If you’ve been arrested you will be scheduled for an arraignment where you will be formally charged. You will be given a chance to review the charges and then be asked if you want to plead guilty or not guilty.
• Preliminary hearing: After the arraignment, you will be scheduled for a preliminary hearing. The purpose of this hearing is to determine whether there is substantial evidence to forward the case to the county court for trial. You will rarely put on a defense and the defendant will rarely testify.
• Indictments: Some cases proceed through a grand jury indictment. When a grand jury hands up an indictment, the case proceeds directly to trial. There is no preliminary hearing.
• Plea bargain: In cases where there’s a chance the defendant might be found guilty of some or all of the charges a plea bargain may be an option. A plea bargain means an agreement between the prosecution and the defense counsel.
• Diversionary/ alternative programs: Sometimes a program may be available (depending on the seriousness of your crime, your prior criminal record and whether anyone was hurt) that will hold off on the prosecution of the crime provided you meet the terms of the program.
• Trial: Some cases may be tried just before a judge. Other cases will be tried before a jury. Our legal team will review your choices and the pros and cons before proceeding to trial.
• Post-trial process: If you are convicted we will review with you whether an appeal is wise and what you must do to preserve your appeal rights.
• Expungement: In some cases, depending on the seriousness of the crime, you may be able to have a conviction or an arrest removed from your record. The main purpose of the expungement is so that the conviction or arrest can’t be used against you when you apply for a job or even for credit.
