The best legal advice in criminal matters

What is a criminal process?

A legal process is a set of procedures composed of five different stages in which there are two types of people:

  • Those who commit the crime are known as the accused or syndicated

  • The people who suffer the consequence of a criminal behavior called victims; who are the subjects of the proceedings.

Both parties go through a series of criminal proceedings consisting of 5 stages: 

  1. Preparatory stage
  2. Intermediate stage
  3. Trial stage
  4. Execution stage
  5. Challenge stage

<Until a judge passes a sentence of conviction or acquittal.
