A criminal trial is a legal process where a person accused of a crime is judged in a court of law. During the trial, both the prosecution and the defense present their evidence and arguments. The prosecution tries to prove that the accused is guilty, while the defense aims to show that the accused is innocent or that there is not enough evidence to convict them. The trial usually involves a judge and sometimes a jury, who listen to the testimonies and examine the evidence. After all the information is presented, the judge or jury makes a decision, determining whether the accused is guilty or not guilty.
