Crime 4: Criminal procedure (part 2)
When the accused knows that he is going to stand trial, he asks a solicitor to prepare his case. 
The information collected is then given to a barrister who will defend him in court. 
In a criminal case, the police will have their own barrister, who is known as the Crown
Prosecutor. 
These two barristers are referred to throughout the trial as counsel for the defence and counsel
for the prosecution.
Before the trial begins, the counsels review their evidence and decide how to present their case. 
Members of the jury, when required, are selected and briefed on their duties. A date for the trial
is arranged.
At the beginning of the trial, the judge asks the defendant how he pleads: 'guilty' or 'not guilty'.
Both counsels then address the jury with a summary of what they believe is true, and explain
what the jury will hear at the trial.
The counsel for the prosecution then calls and questions witnesses. The counsel for the defence
can cross-examine these people. The defendant will also be questioned by both counsels.
At the end of the trial, the counsels summarise the facts as they see them, and the jury then
retires to deliberate in private. 
When the jury has reached its verdict, it returns to the court and the foreman of the jury delivers
the verdict to the court. 
If the defendant is found to be 'not guilty', he is acquitted.
However, if the jury's verdict is 'guilty', the defendant is convicted and sentenced by the judge. 
The defendant may have to serve a custodial sentence (in other words go to prison), he may be
given a suspended sentence, or he may be fined (or a combination of two of these).
If the defendant is not happy with the decision of the court, he is free to appeal to a higher
court. The highest courts for appellants in England and Wales are the House of Lords and the
Court of Justice of the European Communities (also called the European Court of Justice, or ECJ
for short).
