The criminal justice process typically involves several key steps: first, law enforcement investigates a crime, gathers evidence, and makes an arrest if warranted. Next, the case is referred to the prosecutor, who decides whether to file charges. If charges are filed, the defendant goes through arraignment, followed by pre-trial motions and potentially a trial. Finally, if found guilty, sentencing occurs, and the defendant may pursue appeals afterward.
