Terminology Used In Criminal Law

The person prosecuted is called the defendant. The defendant's attorney is called a criminal defense attorney. Attorney Corey Chirafisi is a criminal defense attorney. Previously, Attorney Chirafisi was a prosecuting attorney. The benefit of having a criminal defense attorney who was previously a prosecuting attorney are many, but the most important is the fact that the criminal defense attorney also understands how the prosecuting attorney prepares his or her case, prosecutes the case, and is bound by certain rules of evidence and procedure during the prosecution of that case.

Acquittals

What is an acquittal? When a person is tried for a crime in either a jury trial or a bench trial (a trial with a judge, but no jury), and found not guilty of a crime, that person is said to be acquitted of the crime. A verdict is a decision of a court or a jury in a criminal case. A not guilty verdict is called an acquittal. An acquittal exonerates a person of the crime accused. The state prosecuting attorney, district attorney, or prosecutor's office prosecutes a person for a crime.
