FAQ
In New York criminal cases, the burden of proof requires the prosecutor to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is the highest standard of proof in the legal system. It means that the jury or judge must have a moral certainty that the defendant committed the crime.
Unless a rule or statute specifically states otherwise, a pleading need not be verified or accompanied by an affidavit.
Verification of complaints is largely optional under the CPLR. There are some statutes, however, that require a verified complaint in certain circumstances. See New York Statute Search; see also Overview – Initiating a Special Proceeding.
What Is a Criminal "Complaint"? the defendant. the date of the alleged offenses. the alleged offenses (including the relevant statutes, and whether the violations are misdemeanors or felonies), and. some kind of description of the alleged facts underlying those offenses.
Criminal complaints are normally first started with the application for a complaint, along with an affidavit by the complainant, which is titled an affidavit of probable cause. The judge examines the statements in the application and affidavit.
Typically, a plaintiff verifies a complaint by attaching a page at the end containing a statement made under oath that: The plaintiff has reviewed the complaint. The plaintiff knows or believes that all allegations that the plaintiff has personal knowledge of to be true.
The victim of a crime files a complaint report with the police. Depending on where the crime occurred, you may report the crime to agencies such as the MTA police, State Police, or Port Authority Police. Otherwise, contact your local precinct as soon as possible.
Different procedures exist for bringing criminal charges against an individual. Misdemeanor charges can be filed in the City Court upon an Accusatory Instrument or Complaint filed by the local police agencies or upon the filing of a Prosecutor's Information by the District Attorney or the City Prosecutor's Office.
If you file a complaint without any legal or factual support or for some improper purpose, the court can “sanction” you.
Unless a rule or statute specifically states otherwise, a pleading need not be verified or accompanied by an affidavit.
