A criminal charge is a formal accusation made by a governmental authority (usually a public prosecutor or the police) asserting that somebody has committed a crime.
Before a person is found guilty of a crime, a criminal charge must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
The punishments generally include fines, suspension, probation, a small amount of jail time, or alcohol and drug classes.
In the United States, people facing criminal charges in any situation enjoy certain rights under the Constitution.
It also covers a just and fair trial without any arbitrary procedure, which confers that arrest should not only be legal but also justified.
