It could mean almost anything, depending upon the context.\n\nA pre-trial statement could be made by a defendant, as part of an allocution or preliminary hearing. It could be made in a civil case, at a motion hearing or by sworn declaration. \n\nA pre-trial statement is a statement that is made as part of the court record (usually under oath) and that occurs before trial. Other than that, I can think of a dozen situations where it might occur.

You need to get your lawyer to subpoena the report.  He can get it prior to the court date, as he will need it to prepare for his arguement.

A duty to the court means just that.  ie If you tell your lawyer you killed someone but then under oath state that you didn't kill someone your lawyer has a "duty to the court" to inform the judge that you just lied since your lawyer is acting as an officer of the court.  This could be the reason they would withdraw since you've already told them you commited the crime and they would have a duty to the court to tell them you were lying if you said otherwise under oath.

Besides the obvious: the presumption of innocence, a number of presumptions exist in criminal law. These presumptions may affect who has the burden of proof. It should be noted that a presumption is rebuttal. These presumptions include: \n\nPresumption of a defendant's sanity\nPresumption of defendant's competency to stand trial\nPresumption of validity that attaches to a search warrant\nPresumption that an indictment is based on legal and sufficient evidence\nPresumption of regularity that attaches to judgments of conviction\nPresumption that defense counsel rendered effective assistance\nPresumption of a statute's constitutionality\nPresumption against waiver of constitutional rights

Your answers are correct. It simply means, sentence me as though I am guilty but I am not admitting I am guilty. And yes, its a conviction on your record.

Normally they are arrested and will see a judge, it is called an initial appearance.  The judge advise the defendant (accused person) of the charge.\n\nDepending on prior history, a defendant might be release to return to court later.  If the defendant has a history of not showing up to court (fail to appear), then the judge will likely have a bond amount set.  Your family/friend will have to post the bond for you to leave jail or you stay in jail until the case is completed.\n\nThe next event is the arraignment.  The defendant is required to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty/responsible, no contest).  If you are entering a not guilty plea, then it is set for a pre-trial conference.\n\nDuring the pre-trial conference, the prosecutor will offer a plea deal.  If rejected, then you will be set for trial.\n\nDuring the trial, if you are found guilty, you will get sentence at that time or a later date.

Nope, it's just the beginning. \n\nWhat is a preliminary hearing? \n\nEvery person who is charged by warrant is entitled to a preliminary hearing. If a person remains in jail, he or she is entitled to a preliminary hearing within 10 days of arrest. If a person is released from jail on bond, he or she is entitled to a preliminary hearing within 30 days of arrest.\n\nA preliminary hearing is a test of the charge against the accused. The prosecutor must present evidence and witnesses that prove that it appears that an offense has been committed that there is probable cause to believe that the person accused committed it. The accused may cross-examine witnesses and may present evidence if he or she wishes.\n\nIf the judge makes a finding of probable cause after hearing the evidence, the charge is sent to the grand jury. If the judge does not find that it appears that an offense has been committed or that the accused is likely the person who committed an offense, the accused is discharged and the charge is dismissed. If the accused is discharged and the charge dismissed after a preliminary hearing, the prosecutor may still present evidence to the grand jury to see if they will find probable cause.

The following is what is said before a person gives testimony:\n\nDo you swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God or under the pains and penalties of perjury?\n\nIt allows for those who do not want to swear (they can affirm), and ensures that the person swearing or affirming is aware of the penalties for lying.

It's a pre-sentencing analysis of a defendant to assess their capabilities, used in several state court systems. Do a search with the terms in quotes and you'll find out more specifics.

Adjudication is formal resolution of a matter.  If your case was deferred, it will be adjudicated later.  At that time, the charges may be dropped, i.e., you complied with the terms of the deferral, or the charges may be reinstated, in which case you might eventually be convicted of the felony.  \n\nHowever, unless and until you do receive a conviction, you have no legal obligation to disclose such on an employment application.  Requiring you to disclose your having been arrested or charged prior to being convicted would run contrary to our country's "innocent until proven guilty" doctrine.\n\nOne caveat:  If you are hired and are convicted at a later date, you may or may not have an obligation to tell your employer of the conviction.  This would be the case if laws exist that preclude a convicted felon from holding the position you seek.  For example, in many states a convicted felon may not practice pharmacy.

A predicate offense is an offense that is necessarily included in charging another offense or establishing a punishment.  For example, under the federal RICO statutes (used to go after mobsters), you can be convicted og engaging in a "continuing criminal enterprise."  But in order to establish this, the government must first prove that there was a criminal act - this is the predicate offense.

Preponderance means more than 50% or another way of looking at it is to say that when looking at the proofs on both sides it is more likely than unlikely that the thing that needed to be proven happened.  Another standard that is used is that the evidence is clearly convining.  That means that a person who hears all the evidence is convinced the thing that needed to be proven happened.  The other standard used is Beyond a reasonable doubt.  This last standard approaches the evidence from a different view.  The beyond a reasonable doubt standard means that the thing that needes to be proven can only be considered proven if there is no other reasonable way to explain the facts.

This is a very large subject because there are many different types of Trial circumstances some with juries and some without.  In general the defendant has the right to request (and receive) a jury trial.  There are many different types of juries such as:\n\nAdvisory Jury\nCommon Jury \nForeign Jury\nGrand Jury\nPetit Jury\nSpecial Jury\nTraverse Jury\nCoroner’s Jury\nSheriff’s Jury\n\nPer Black’s Law Dictionary: “A Jury is a certain number of men and women selected according to law, and sworn to inquire of certain matters of fact, and declare the truth upon evidence to be laid before them.” \n\n“A jury is a body of persons temporarily selected from the citizens of a particular district, and invested with power to present or indict a person for a public offense, or to try a question of fact.”\n\nFurther. . . . .\n\n“A jury trial is a matter or cause before jury as opposed to trial before a judge.  Such right is guaranteed with respect to criminal cases (re: Article 3, Section 2, Clause 3. of the U.S. Constitution) and with respect to ‘suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed 20 dollars’ by the Seventh Amendment.  Such right is also preserved by rule of court (Federal Civil Code paragraph 38) and by the Fifth Amendment which provide inter alia for indictment by grand jury, and the Sixth Amendment which contains further specifications respecting jury trial in criminal cases.  In addition, state constitutions provide for right to jury trial and the Supreme Court has held that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees a right of jury trial in all state criminal cases which – were they to be tried in federal court – would come within the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee (re: Duncan v. Louisiana)”\n\n“The right to ‘jury trial’ of controverted issues implies a trial by an impartial and qualified jury.  (re: Alexander v. R. D. Crier & Sons Co.)”\n\nUnless the defendant doesn’t want a jury trial or, it is something like a magistrate without a jury, such as a speeding ticket or small claims court, (although one can be requested) there will be a jury. \n\nLet me further offer, those who issue bumper sticker comments about how bad things are (such as asserting that the courts are so corrupt and unfair) usually have no idea as to what they are saying.
