Once the defendant has been arrested, the court may hold a bail hearing, sometimes called a \u201cbond hearing,\u201d to determine whether the defendant should be held in the local jail until the defendant can secure the bail amount or the trial is complete. Bail is an amount paid or pledged by the defendant to make sure he or she will appear in court. Not every case will have a bail\/bond hearing.<\/p>\n

A probable cause hearing, usually in General Sessions court, to determine if there is reason to believe that a crime has been committed and that the defendant committed it. Attendance by the victim is not always required, but victims do have a constitutional right to be present at all hearings where a defendant is present.*<\/p>\n

If it is determined that there is reason to believe a misdemeanor crime has been committed and that the defendant committed it, then the case can be settled by plea (step 8)<\/strong>. If it is determined that there is reason to believe a felony crime has been committed and that the defendant committed it, the case is \u201cbound over\u201d to the grand jury (step 5)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An independent group of private citizens who listen to information about the crime and decide whether the case should be formally charged. This is different from a jury trial, and the defendant is not present. The victim\u2019s appearance is required only if subpoenaed or requested.<\/p>\n

The first scheduled appearance by the defendant in Criminal or Circuit Court. A copy of the indictment returned by the grand jury is given to the defendant, who can ask that it be read, and the defendant will enter a plea of not guilty at this stage.\u00a0 An attorney will make an appearance on behalf of the defendant if retained or the court may appoint an attorney for the defendant if he or she qualifies for court appointed counsel.<\/p>\n

This is a negotiated settlement that allows defendants to accept responsibility for their actions and for disposal of the case without trial. A plea agreement is usually an agreement worked out between the District Attorney\u2019s Office and the defendant\u2019s attorney which is then presented to the Judge. The defendant may agree to plead guilty to the crime(s) charged or to a lesser offense. The judge may accept or reject the plea. Additionally, a plea agreement can include an agreement on both the charge and sentence or just on the charges with a sentencing as mentioned in step 10. Although you will not have the final say as to what sentence is given, the District Attorney\u2019s Office values and will consider your input. If no plea agreement is reached, the case goes to trial (step 9)<\/strong>. If a plea agreement is reached, the case moves straight to sentencing (step 10)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The court proceeding in which the District Attorney\u2019s Office presents the case for the State, attempting to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime(s) as charged. The defendant may present proof to dispute the State\u2019s claim but does not have to present any proof or testify during the trial. Usually, the defendant chooses whether a judge or a 12-person jury will decide the case. You should be present at the trial and may be required to attend if you were a witness to the crime.<\/p>\n

After a defendant\u2019s guilty plea is accepted or he\/she is found guilty after a trial, the judge decides what happens. Oftentimes a plea agreement contemplates sentencing, but the judge still determines whether to accept the sentencing recommendation. The defendant may be sent to prison or jail, or the sentence may be suspended to probation, or a combination of the two. Probation<\/strong>\u00a0means the defendant is not incarcerated as long as he\/she does what the judge has told him\/her to do and is typically required to report to a probation officer. Probation can be supervised or unsupervised. He\/she may also be placed in other alternative programs such as recovery court, veteran\u2019s court, mental health court, and TNROCS; required to do community service; pay fines and court costs; pay restitution; and take courses to help rehabilitate the offender. If a defendant receives diversion, that means that the defendant is entering a conditional plea upon certain conditions, and he\/she will be allowed to ask the court to expunge their record upon completion of the required probationary period. <\/p>\n

Victim’s Impact Statement<\/h4>\n

A victim may give a statement on how the defendant\u2019s crime has impacted their life physically, emotionally, and\/or financially at the time of sentencing. This is accomplished either through the presentence report or through statements made at the time of sentencing by the victim or sometimes by both. If the case is set for a sentencing hearing on a felony offense, the victim will be contacted by the presentence investigator with the Tennessee Department of Corrections Probation and Parole unit. The presentence investigator will send a victim impact statement form to be filled out by the victim and included in the presentence report. As the victim, you may give an additional statement at the time of sentencing if you choose. <\/p>\n
