I'm thinking about a...
more like an attorney-type roleplay.
I control fate and set the court process,
before the court process starts...
the players must search for evidence,
that I lay out for them.
I judge by the amount of evidence collected,
and how well the player links the accusation/defense
to the evidence,
and maybe.. i can add a sort-of story-line.

anyone watch/play [harvey birdman: attorney at law]? xD

I dunno. that is just the lazy summary.

if it is a potential good idea, you may give me suggestions to improve it

Court process

[Advanced - not even finished lol. Don't have to read - it's unsimplified.]

A crime committed against a person violates state law and thus is a crime against the state. The prosecuting attorney for the county in which the crime occurred usually handles the case.
In a criminal case, the state has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the alleged crime. Defendants are presumed innocent and never have the burden of proving their innocence.

INVESTIGATION

Law enforcement personnel investigate reports of criminal activity, gather evidence, make arrests, and present the evidence to the prosecuting attorney. Based on the investigation, police or the sheriff may decide that:
A crime has not occurred as defined under state law,
There is insufficient evidence to pursue the complaint, or
One or more persons may be arrested and the matter referred to the prosecutor.
Any person arrested must be released within 24 hours unless a warrant is issued for an arrest.

COMPLAINT AND ARREST

If police determine the evidence constitutes an offense and identifies a suspect, the matter is taken to the prosecuting attorney. As the legal representative for the state, the prosecuting or circuit attorney must then determine whether and what formal charges to file.
Once a charge has been filed, usually in the form of a complaint, the prosecutor can go to a judge to obtain an arrest warrant. The court issues the warrant if there are sufficient facts to show probable cause that a felony has been committed by the defendant. This warrant will allow local law enforcement officials to make an arrest.

TESTIFYING
During a felony trial, witnesses might have to testify at one or more of these three occasions:

At the preliminary hearing or before the grand jury
At trial
At sentencing
Victims may have to testify under oath:
___________________
At the preliminary hearing
At depositions
At hearings on pretrial motions, such as hearings on motions to suppress the victim’s identification of the defendant
At trial
At sentencing
PRELIMINARY HEARING

(Not held for misdemeanor cases)

Felony cases begin with a preliminary hearing — a proceeding in which testimony is taken under oath. The defendant may waive a preliminary hearing, and the case usually will be sent directly to circuit court for trial.

If the defendant chooses to proceed with a preliminary hearing, the judge, defendant, defendant’s attorney, prosecutor, and any victims or witnesses subpoenaed will attend.

The prosecutor presents evidence to show the judge that there is probable cause to believe a crime was committed and that it was committed by the defendant.

The defense attorney can cross-examine the state’s witnesses and produce evidence. If probable cause is established, the judge will order the defendant to be bound over for trial.

If the judge decides that probable cause has not been established, the court dismisses the case and the defendant is released. This also may occur if witnesses fail to appear to testify. In some cases the prosecutor can later file another complaint against the defendant, based on the same crime.

At any time, the prosecutor may decide to voluntarily dismiss the charges, called nolle prosequi.




Should there be, in some cases, a grand jury replacing the preliminary?

Or if you want to be anything else, go ahead and ask.

The role-play is out.

We are part of a Law Term (Group), not the court itself.
