When a defendant is brought before a court the charge is read out to him and he is asked whether
he pleads guilty or not guilty. If he pleads not guilty, a jury of 12 persons must be formed and
summoned to attend the court. If he pleads guilty, he is sentenced by the court.
The trial begins with opening the case for the prosecuting party and hearing the evidence of the
witnesses for the prosecution.
Witnesses for the prosecution may be cross-examined by the accused or his counsel. The accused
may call witnesses or give evidence in their own defense. The judge sums up the case to the jury. The
jury considers the verdict. If they decide that the accused is not guilty, he is immediately discharged. If
the jury returns the verdict of guilty, sentence is pronounced by the judge.
