Document Summary

How cases flow through the courts: police lay information: police tell the justice of the peace what they suspect someone is doing in terms of commiting a criminal act, which lets them get a warrant.

Judicial interim release (bail): people only incarcerated if they pose a serious threat to society. To be denied bail, the judge must believe that you are too dangerous to be denied bail. In most cases, bail is granted until trial date. If everyone went to trail the system would not be able to handle it; someone has been charged with an offence the crown will approach the accused and give them an offer to avoid trial. They can reduce the charge to reduce the sentence.
