experienced criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles to protect your future. Understanding and being well-informed about Criminal Law is vital, especially if you are not a U.S. resident or citizen. In California, the City or State Prosecutor can charge you, depending on the severity and location of the crime. The government, often referred to as &#8220;the state,&#8221; is the one that brings the accusation, and a prosecutor will try to prove your guilt. It is crucial to have a specialized criminal defense attorney to safeguard your rights. The judge and prosecutor\u2019s decisions depend on the evidence presented and the specific circumstances of each case. The government has extensive resources to carry out its prosecution, so having an experienced attorney in this field is essential to face the process.<\/p><p>In this article, we will explain in simple terms some concepts related to criminal proceedings, whether serious or less serious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-11aef11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"11aef11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Breakdown of the Criminal Process\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a1edcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a1edcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A criminal case begins when someone commits a crime and reports it to the police department. The police investigate the incident, what happened, and obtain statements. This process may include speaking with victims, witnesses, and suspects; collecting as much evidence as possible; looking at and taking photos or video of the crime scene; and identifying suspects.<\/p><p>If the police witness a crime or believe someone committed or did something wrong, they can arrest without a warrant signed by a judge. However, sometimes a court order is needed to arrest someone. Then, they ask the prosecutor to formally charge the suspect in court. Most cases follow the same process, but in this case, we are referring to the city and county of Los Angeles, California.<\/p><ul><li>The prosecutor reviews the case and decides, depending on the evidence presented, whether to formally charge someone. If they believe there is enough evidence, they authorize the charges.<\/li><li>\u00a0Whether the suspect is in custody or not, they may be arrested afterward.<\/li><li>\u00a0The first time the defendant goes to court is called an &#8220;arraignment,&#8221; and it is the hearing where the charges are formally read to the defendant. In this hearing, the defendant is informed of the accusations and their constitutional rights.<\/li><li>\u00a0In this first hearing, bail is decided so the defendant may be released until the trial.<br \/>If the crime is a misdemeanor, the defendant decides whether to plead guilty or not. There may be a pre-trial hearing to resolve the case.<\/li><li>\u00a0If the crime is a felony, the defendant also decides how to plead. Before the trial, there may be hearings about evidence or rights to see if the case can be resolved.<\/li><li>\u00a0If there is enough evidence, the case goes to trial.<\/li><li>\u00a0In the trial, the prosecutor must prove the defendant is guilty.

They can also arrest without a warrant if they believe a misdemeanor or felony was committed, regardless of whether they saw the crime or not. In other cases, a court order signed by a judge is required for arrest. Sometimes, even though the police can arrest without a warrant, they prefer to wait and request one.

This is usually the first time a city or state prosecutor becomes involved. At this stage, the prosecutor decides whether someone should be formally charged and, if so, what charges will be filed. In this initial process, it is important to have the help and representation of a criminal defense attorney to work on your behalf and begin discussions with the prosecutor reviewing your case, all reports, and records of the criminal case, including witness statements. They also check whether the suspect has prior criminal or traffic records. Sometimes, the prosecutor may return the case to the police for further investigation and also has the discretion to dismiss the criminal charge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db3ecc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"db3ecc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Misdemeanor vs. Felony Criminal Charges in California\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc8fd1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc8fd1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In California, crimes are classified into two types: misdemeanors and felonies, as we explain below. Felonies are not only more serious but also carry stronger consequences and punishments, such as high fines and long prison sentences. Misdemeanors are less serious but still carry consequences and lighter punishments, which, depending on the crime, may include jail time and immigration consequences.<\/p><p>Some crimes can be classified as either misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the severity and multiple factors. These types of crimes are called &#8220;wobblers&#8221; in English. In these cases, criminal defense attorneys try to have the charge considered a misdemeanor so that the punishment is not as severe. Of course, the best outcome is always to have the case dismissed entirely.<\/p><p>Examples of felonies include murder, rape, domestic violence, arson, robbery, and the sale of controlled substances, child sexual abuse, etc. Examples of &#8220;wobblers&#8221; include criminal threats, forgery of certain documents, probation violations, assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a weapon, and elder abuse. Examples of misdemeanors include petty theft from stores or individuals, disorderly conduct in public, probation violations, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, public intoxication, and prostitution.<\/p><p><strong>If you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges in Los Angeles, CA, Progresso Legal Group is ready to help you.
