You have a constitutional right to defend yourself against any claims made by the State that you violated the law. The State then has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty. You have the right to challenge the State’s evidence and witnesses, present your own evidence or witnesses, and can elect to testify or not testify as part of your case. Your election not to testify cannot be considered as an admission of your guilt. Depending on the potential penalty, you can have the case heard by a Judge, in District or Circuit Court, or by a Jury in Circuit Court. There must be a finding of guilt before any penalty can be imposed, and unless there is a mandatory sentence involved, a Judge has discretion in the proper disposition of the charge. There are post-conviction rights which can involve modification of sentence and/or probation, a new trial, or appeal.
