Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey talks how most CO criminal cases are resolved. He explains that the majority of criminal cases are typically resolved through a process known as a plea bargain or disposition. In this scenario, the prosecuting authority, usually the district attorney, offers a proposed resolution, and negotiations take place between the client and the government attorney to reach a fair agreement. Plea agreements are the most common outcome in criminal cases. Alternatively, if a plea agreement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to trial, which involves presenting evidence and arguments to a jury. Felony trials typically involve a jury of 12 individuals, while misdemeanor cases are decided by a jury of six individuals.
