You may be concerned about your future if you have been charged with a criminal offense in Indiana. As you prepare to defend yourself in court, it's critical to know what to expect from the pre-trial process so you can be more prepared.
A pretrial conference is held to determine if there are any motions that need to be ruled on, make sure the prosecutor and the defense attorney have exchanged appropriate documents, and basically make sure that everyone is on track for the trial. Many times pretrial conferences are handled by conference calls; however, some judges require a formal pretrial conference at which the defendant is required to appear. The victim does not need to appear.
As a result, you should choose an attorney who is willing to involve you in the pretrial process at every stage. With that in mind, here's a general outline of what to expect throughout the Indiana pretrial phase.
