Understanding Alberta’s criminal justice system can feel like navigating a complex maze. It involves various stages, from police investigation and charges to court appearances, trials, and potentially sentencing or appeals.
Each step has its own rules and procedures, and the process is designed to determine guilt or innocence while upholding the rights of the accused. Having clear legal guidance is necessary to ensure understanding of how the system works and how each case will progress.
Criminal litigation generally involves several key stages. It typically begins with an arrest or charge, followed by a first appearance in court, bail hearings (if applicable), and the disclosure of evidence by the Crown. Cases may then proceed to plea negotiations, pre-trial conferences, trial, and potentially sentencing or appeals.
In Alberta, the Crown Prosecutor represents the state and is responsible for prosecuting offences under the Criminal Code and other statutes. Their role is to ensure justice is done by fairly presenting all relevant evidence to the court and seeking an appropriate outcome, rather than simply securing a conviction.
When dealing with complex evidence or investigations in criminal litigation, our firm is committed to taking a meticulous approach. We thoroughly examine all disclosure, work with experts when needed, and challenge the prosecution’s evidence strategically to build a solid defence or reprsent your interests effectively throughout the process.
