Trial Information
The Trial Information is a document drafted by the
prosecutor of the jurisdiction in which the charges are
brought. The document will be signed by the
prosecutor and approved by the judge.
The document will list the exact charges, by statute,
that are being pursued against the defendant. The
Trial Information must also list all witnesses that the
prosecutor will use against the defendant at trial, and
the minutes of testimony of each witness. The
occupations and addresses of all witnesses will be
listed as well.
The Trial Information is an important step of the
process, as it informs the defendant and his attorney
of the exact nature of the charges against him.
Finally, the Trial Information will include the date of
Arraignment, which is the next step in the criminal
procedure.
At this point in the criminal procedure, it is important
for a defendant to speak with his lawyer. The lawyer
can review the Trial Information for any errors, and
take steps to prepare the defendant's Arraignment
prior to the next court date.
