COURT
The accused has the right to a trial which is
held in a court. All trials have a judge, and some
have a jury, who try the case. One group of lawyers (the prosecution) tries to prove his guilt, while another group (the defence) tries to defend him. They examine the evidence to see if there is proof that he
committed the crime. They may hear evidence from witnesses. At the
end of the trial the judge or the jury will reach a verdict and
decide if he is guilty or not
guilty. If the accused is found guilty, he will
receive a sentence. He may be fined, or sent to jail/prison.
