How Does a Criminal Case Work in Massachusetts?

A Massachusetts criminal case typically moves through several key steps. Understanding the process helps clients stay prepared and reduces uncertainty. This is the typical process for a criminal case:

  1. Arrest or Complaint Issued
  2. Arraignment where charges are formally presented
  3. Pretrial Hearings and Discovery to exchange evidence
  4. Motions to Suppress or Dismiss challenging improper evidence
  5. Negotiations and Possible Plea Discussions
  6. Trial or Case Resolution

What Defenses Might Apply to My Case?

Defenses depend on the charges, the facts, and any constitutional issues. A strong defense does not rely on one argument but rather layers several legal and factual points to weaken the prosecution’s case. Common defenses include:

  • Unlawful traffic stop or search
  • Faulty breath tests or field sobriety procedures
  • Insufficient evidence of possession or intent
  • Constitutional violations during arrest or interrogation
  • Mistaken identity or unreliable witness testimony

FAQs

What should I do immediately after being arrested in Worcester?

Stay silent, be respectful, and request an attorney right away. Anything you say can be used against you, so contacting a criminal defense attorney as early as possible is the best way to protect your rights.

Can criminal charges be dismissed in Massachusetts?

Yes, many cases can be dismissed when evidence is weak, police procedure is flawed, or constitutional violations occurred. A detailed review of the facts often reveals opportunities to suppress or exclude evidence.

Will my case go to trial?

Not all cases go to trial. Many resolve through negotiations, motions, or dismissals. However, if the prosecution cannot meet its burden or negotiations do not produce a fair result, trial may be the best option.
