Answer to Question 1

The basic structure of a criminal case is similar to that of a civil case, with the addition of a fourth stage-sentencing. However, the pleading stage of a criminal case is very different. Criminal cases are initiated with a criminal complaint accompanied by an investigator's affidavit that summarizes the evidence against the defendant. During the first appearance (arraignment), the defendant is informed of the charges and advised of his or her rights. At this time, the defendant also enters a plea to the charge or charges-guilty or not guilty. This is followed by the discovery stage and the trial stage, as discussed previously. If the defendant is found not guilty, the case is over; if found guilty, the case then moves to the sentencing stage. The verdict in a criminal case (guilty or not guilty) differs from the verdict in a civil case, wherein the defendant is found either liable or not liable (for damages). Prior to sentencing by the court, the case is evaluated by the probation department, which prepares a pre-sentence report (PSR). The PSR summarizes the case (including the crime, the case facts, and the offender's profile) and offers a recommendation for sentencing.
