A Previous Proceeding (Trial) of Defendant is a legal process in which a defendant is tried and a verdict is reached. Depending on the type of case, there are several types of Previous Proceeding (Trial) of Defendant. The most common type of trial is a criminal trial, in which the defendant is accused of a crime. The prosecution presents evidence to prove that the defendant is guilty, while the defense presents evidence to establish the defendant's innocence. The jury or judge then decides the verdict, which can be guilty, not guilty, or a hung jury. Another type of trial is a civil trial, which is used in disputes between two or more parties. In a civil trial, the defendant is usually a business or an individual. The plaintiff presents evidence that the defendant has caused them harm, and the defendant is expected to prove that they did not cause the harm. The jury or judge then decides the outcome of the case, which is usually a monetary award to the plaintiff. In addition to criminal and civil trials, there are also administrative trials. Administrative trials are used for disputes between a government agency and a citizen. In an administrative trial, the defendant is expected to prove that the government agency has acted unlawfully. The jury or judge then decides the outcome, which is usually a ruling in favor of the defendant. Finally, there are also appellate proceedings, which are used to review the decisions of a lower court. The appellate court may review the decision, and decide to either uphold the ruling of the lower court or reverse it.
