Murder trial

A murder trial is a legal proceeding where the government (prosecutor) presents evidence to prove that a defendant intentionally caused the death of another person. The defendant can present evidence and witnesses in their defense. A jury (or judge in a bench trial) evaluates the evidence to determine whether the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If found guilty, the court imposes a punishment, which can include life imprisonment or the death penalty, depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances. The process ensures fairness and adherence to legal standards before finalizing a conviction.
