Process for Bringing Criminal Charges

The video tutorial explains the process of initiating criminal charges. It covers scenarios where criminal conduct is witnessed by law enforcement, leading to an arrest and a first court appearance. It also discusses cases where crimes are not witnessed, requiring a prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury to decide on charges. The process of filing charges, issuing arrest warrants, and the subsequent arrest is detailed. Once arrested, individuals appear in court to enter a plea, and the case is set for trial. The trial process involves presenting evidence to a jury, which determines guilt or innocence. The defendant may choose a bench trial instead of a jury trial.
