The Maryland Criminal Information Brochure for Defendant is a resource published by the Maryland Courts to help defendants understand their rights and responsibilities in the criminal justice system. It is an invaluable tool to help defendants make informed decisions about their case. The brochure outlines the stages of the criminal process, from arrest to appeal, and provides information on the rights and responsibilities of both the defendant and his or her attorney. It also includes information on pretrial release, plea agreements, sentencing, appeals, and post-conviction remedies. The Maryland Criminal Information Brochure for Defendant is available in two versions: a standard version and an electronic version. The standard version contains the same information as the electronic version, but it is printed on a single sheet of paper and can be used by a defendant who does not have access to the internet. The electronic version is available for download from the Maryland Courts website and can be viewed on any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Both versions of the brochure provide clear and concise information about the criminal justice system and the rights of the defendant. The brochure is an essential resource for individuals facing criminal charges in Maryland and should be consulted by both defendants and their attorneys.
