Answer 2

Hey mate, here's your answer:

They are arrested, booked, and placed in custody.

After that, they are taken before the court for arraignment. If the court finds sufficient grounds to bind them over for trial they will set bond and accept their plea.

This is where the wheels of justice grind to geologic speed. It can take months before they are taken to trial. Delays and motions can extend that time. In the meantime, assuming that the accused has not made bail, they will sit in County Jail waiting.

If the accused, and their attorney, choose a jury trial, there will be a hearing wherein the jurors are chosen in a process called voir dire.

If the accused, and their attorney, choose a court trial the trial will proceed without a jury. In a court trial only a judge is present and will make the determination of guilt or innocence.

Once they get to trial the prosecution will present their case and the defense will present theirs. The prosecution gets to go first and the defense is then allowed their turn.

If they are found innocent they will be taken from the court back to the county jail where they will be processed and released. They don't just get to walk out of the courtroom. That only happens in the movies.

If they are found guilty, they will also be taken back to the county jail where they will await their sentencing hearing. This can take anywhere from 5 days to 2 months depending on the severity of the case and other factors.

Sentencing can include anything from probation all the way up to the death penalty.
