Criminal Law Cases

Criminal law cases involve actions deemed offenses against the state or society, such as theft, assault, or fraud. When someone is accused of a crime, the government prosecutes them to determine guilt or innocence. The burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. If found guilty, the person may face penalties such as fines, probation, or jail time. These cases serve to maintain order, protect citizens, and uphold laws, balancing individual rights with society’s need for safety.
