Q. What is a pretrial conference and what will be done. Its for 2 counts of petite theft.
A: Your question is somewhat unclear. For a new criminal case a person is charged with a crime, they go to arraignment to plead guilty or not guilty. If they plead guilty they are sentenced. If they plead not guilty the case gets set for a pretrial conference. At the pretrial the defendant can enter a plea to the charge or ask for a continuance for more time to conduct discovery/ investigate the case and defenses, or announce that they are ready for trial.

He will be scheduled for a pretrial where he can do one of the three options above: plead/ admit , ask for more time, or announce ready for a violation of probation hearing. ... Read More
