The Court is a partner in the judicial system with these agencies; however, it must remain neutral in its dealings with all case parties (e.g., officers, prosecutors, defense attorneys, defendants, witnesses, victims, etc.).
9 Proceedings within Municipal Court Greenville Municipal Court is a summary court within the South Carolina Judiciary. The proceedings are less formal than those in General Sessions or Family Court; however, court rules and requirements remain intact. Bench Trial A Bench Trial is a proceeding with the initiating/arresting Officer prosecuting the case and the Presiding Judge determining guilt or innocence and imposing sentencing, if applicable, after hearing from all parties involved. High-Level Bench Trial Process Judge enters courtroom If defendant needs counsel appointed, presiding judge screens defendant and completes form Judge hears from the officer and any victims/witnesses Judge makes a statement including name, name of court, jurisdiction, overview and asks if defendants need a continuance or counsel appointed Courtroom clerk calls the case and asks defendant how [s]he pleads Judge hears from the defendant and any witnesses If defendant needs a continuance, the courtroom clerk provides new court date Defendant pleads guilty or not guilty Judge determines guilty, not guilty, judicial dismissal Judge imposes sentence, if applicable
10 Jury Trials In a Jury Trial, the jury determines guilt or innocence. In Municipal Court the Assistant City Attorney prosecutes the case on behalf of the initiating/arresting Officer. Generally, defense attorneys represent the accused; however, defendants may elect to defend themselves as pro se. The Presiding Judge determines sentencing, if applicable. High-Level Jury Trial Process Defense Attorney or Defendant requests a jury trial Prosecution makes opening statement Witness is excused After both sides have presented their cases, the prosecution may offer rebuttal to the defense s case The case is scheduled on the jury trial docket Defense makes opening statement or may choose to wait until prosecution makes case Presiding Judge requests the prosecution call another witness or rest its case After closing arguments are made, the judge instructs the jury on the law The case may be scheduled for a Pre- Trial Conference with Assistant City Attorney Prosecution calls and questions witnesses Defense may ask for a direct verdict if believed facts did not prove guilty beyond a reasonable doubt Jury deliberates the case If the case is not resolved in a Pre Trial Conference, it is set for trial by jury Defense may crossexamine witness testimony If the motion for direct verdict is denied, the defense may make opening statement and call its first witness Jury provides verdict of guilty or innocent At the beginning of the trial, the judge states the nature of proceeding and requires all parties to take an oath Prosecution may redirect examination Witnesses are treated the same during defense as during prosecution Presiding Judge enters sentence, if appliccable
11 Preliminary Hearings Defendants charged with state-level offenses have a right to a proceeding where a review of the facts is presented to determine if the State has enough proof to believe the Defendant committed the alleged crime, whether or not the Defendant should remain in jail and if a trial should take place. High-Level Preliminary Hearing Process The Presiding Judge begins with a reading of the charge against the defendant After the State s evidence has been presented, the defendant argues proof does not exist The State (law enforcement officer or Solicitor) presents its evidence of proof If the Presiding Judge is not satisfied proof has been shown, the defendant is to be released from custody If the Presiding Judge is satisfied by the State s proof, the defendant is bound over for trial and either released on bond or jailed until trial Defendant has the right to crossexamine any of the State s witnesses The charge may still be submitted to Grand Jury for indictment consideration
