Question

describe the trial process from arraignment through verdict in a criminal case.

Explanation:

In a criminal case, the arraignment is when the defendant is formally charged. Then, there are pre - trial motions (e.g., to suppress evidence). The trial itself includes jury selection (if a jury trial), opening statements by prosecution and defense. The prosecution presents its case (witnesses, evidence), followed by the defense. Closing arguments are made. The jury (or judge in a bench trial) then deliberates and reaches a verdict (guilty or not guilty).
