Answer to Question 2

Once the pretrial process has concluded and the charges have stood, a trial may or may not take place. If, at arraignment, the defendant pleads guilty, then a trial is not necessary. In such an instance, special steps must be taken to ensure that the defendant's guilty plea is valid.

If the defendant pleads not guilty, the case is set for trial. The trial is usually scheduled for some date well after the arraignment. This allows both sidesthe prosecution and the defenseto prepare their respective cases.

At trial, the prosecutor bears the burden of proving that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. After the prosecution has presented its case, the defense steps in and presents its case in which it seeks to cast doubt on the prosecution's evidence. A criminal trial may move back and forth in this fashion until both sides rest. At this point, a verdict must be reached.
