South African Law and Criminal Law
South African criminal law outlines the legal framework for offenses and their corresponding punishments. The prosecution has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Your rights as an accused person are enshrined in the Constitution, including the right to remain silent and the right to a fair trial.
03
The Process of Criminal Justice
The criminal justice process can be complex, but generally involves the following stages:
- Arrest & Charge: If you are arrested, you have specific rights, including the right to be informed of the charges against you.
- Bail Hearing: You may be eligible for bail, allowing you to be released from custody while awaiting trial.
- Pre-Trial Procedures: This stage involves gathering evidence, conducting plea negotiations with the prosecution, and potentially filing motions to suppress evidence.
- Trial: If your case goes to trial, our skilled litigators will represent you in court, presenting a strong defense and advocating for your rights.
- Sentencing: If found guilty, the court will determine the appropriate sentence, which could include imprisonment, fines, or community service.
