How Massachusetts Criminal Procedure Works
Navigating the criminal justice system in Massachusetts requires a clear understanding of its procedures and timelines. Whether you’ve been arrested or received a summons to court, here's how the process typically unfolds:
Arraignment This is your first court appearance where charges are formally read, and you enter a plea. Your Amherst criminal defense attorney can also address bail or request release on personal recognizance.
Pre-Trial Hearings and Motions Before trial, there may be hearings on motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or obtain discovery. Strategic use of pre-trial motions can often lead to case dismissal or significant leverage in negotiations.
Discovery and Investigation Your defense lawyer will review all evidence, conduct their own investigation, interview witnesses, and consult with experts if needed.
Plea Negotiations In many cases, the prosecution may offer a plea deal. An experienced Amherst criminal defense attorney can assess whether the offer is reasonable or advise proceeding to trial.
Trial If your case proceeds to trial, we present a compelling defense, cross-examine the state’s witnesses, and challenge the prosecutor’s burden of proof. Massachusetts requires that guilt be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Sentencing If convicted, sentencing will follow. Advocacy at this stage is crucial to minimize penalties and advocate for alternatives to incarceration, such as probation or diversion programs.
