Indictable Offenses in New Jersey
Indictable offenses are crimes that come before the Criminal Division of the Superior Court. In the state judiciary statistics, over 50,000 such cases are heard every year. These charges range from first-degree to fourth-degree crimes.
If you or your loved one is facing legal proceedings, certain stages usually occur:
The first step begins with a formal accusation – The Criminal Complaint – which relates to an alleged criminal offense committed by the accused. It begins criminal proceedings against the accused.
The court allows prisoners to gain their freedom through release on bail before trial. The charged individual can pay a set amount for their release at this stage.
During this stage, a prosecutor presents evidence in hopes of persuading a grand jury to bring charges against an individual.
At this point, the prosecutor delivers their case against an individual in front of grand jury members hoping that they will issue an indictment allowing prosecution.
When enough evidence supports prosecution (known as “probable cause”) the grand jury issues an indictment to proceed with the court proceedings.
The accused and the court participate in an informal meeting where the accused confirms representation, acknowledges charges against them, and gets due process.
During arraignment, one is formally charged and asked if they would like to plead guilty or not guilty.
When filing for motions seeking to dismiss charges or suppressing evidence, the accused can file a request for a court ruling.
In this stage, defense and prosecution hold conferences to discuss different issues that may affect possible plea agreements or case outcomes.
Plea bargaining may occur during which either side may modify sentences, fines, and jail terms. If both parties cannot agree on a plea bargain deal, then it moves to trial.
