Penalties for Criminal Charges in North Carolina
Penalties for criminal charges will vary, depending on the specifics of your case.
The factors that will affect penalties include:
- Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or felony
- The nature of the alleged offense
- Circumstances surrounding the alleged offense, such as whether a deadly weapon was used, what type of victim was involved, the extent of harm done, and other aggravating or mitigating specifics
- Your prior criminal history if relevant
Penalties can include jail or prison time, heavy fines, probation with restrictive conditions, community service, loss of your driver’s license, and more, all specific to the crime. Every legal element of your alleged crime must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Stages of the Criminal Process in North Carolina
The criminal process in North Carolina is comprised of several distinct stages. After an arrest, you will be arraigned, where you can enter your plea, and be formally charged. This is followed by the pretrial phase where evidence is gathered and where both sides can negotiate for a plea bargain or set a trial date.
If your case goes to either a jury or bench trial, both sides will present arguments in court before a verdict is returned. Depending on the nature of the offense, you may face sentencing which could include imprisonment, fines, or community service. No matter what the outcome, you have certain rights and protections that must be respected throughout the process. Our attorney will zealously protect those at every stage of the process.
