Last updated 4 months ago

If you enjoy watching crime series on TV, you probably have a notion of what a criminal case looks like. But on TV, stages of a criminal case are either skipped or dramatized. If you would like to find out what a typical real-life criminal case entails, check out this educational video.

In this video, you will learn about the steps of a criminal court case, including the initial arrest and booking, the plea agreement or verdict, and sentencing. One important point that this video addresses is the defendant’s right to a criminal defense attorney.

As the defendant in a criminal case, you will be asked during the arraignment whether you need legal representation. It’s important to remember that you can refuse to answer most questions until you have spoken with an attorney.
