Maybe that’s how they did it on television, but if you’re arrested, you’ll need more than what you learned on Law and Order for your defense, especially when the outcome could result in fines, jail or prison time. Criminal law is identified in city, state and federal statutes, which describe conduct or intentions that are considered criminal. Penalties can vary, based on severity and circumstances. Once you’ve been accused, the US Constitution gives you certain rights, such as the right to legal representation and the right to a speedy trial. But the system is complex and many people and issues will play a part in the process. Police officers, forensic specialists, jurists, judges, bail bondsmen, and others may become involved in your case. Depending on variables such as the strength of the evidence, how strong your witnesses are, and whether proper procedure was followed, outcomes can range from dismissal of charges to prison time.
