If a crime has been committed against you or you have witnessed a crime being committed, visit the nearest police station to make a report.

After the accused has been charged with an offence, he will be taken to the Magistrate Court, on the next working day, where he will then be arraigned.

At the trial stage, the accused will be rearraigned (the charge will be read out to him or her).

A witness is anyone who has useful information that can help in proving that the accused committed the crime.

A plea agreement is an agreement between the prosecutor and the accused person or suspect (either through himself or his attorney), where the accused agrees to plead guilty to an offence (based on the charge) and fulfils the obligations within the agreement.

Bail is the conditional release of an accused person from custody while awaiting trial.
