In determining a defendant's sentence, a judge considers various factors under the Sentencing Reform Act 2015. These include the seriousness of the offence, the culpability of the offender, any harm caused to victims, and other aggravating or mitigating factors. The sentence can be a fine, community order, or a term of imprisonment.
Expungement or pardon of a criminal conviction depends on various factors, including: (1) The nature and circumstances of the crime, (2) The length of time that has passed since the completion of the sentence, (3) The rehabilitation and conduct of the offender, (4) Any aggravating or mitigating circumstances, (5) The public interest, and (6) The purpose of expungement or pardon laws. Expungement refers to the legal process by which a criminal record is sealed or destroyed, making it invisible in most background checks. Pardons, on the other hand, are acts of clemency granted by the executive branch that forgive but do not erase the crime from the offender's record.
Imprisonment refers to any form of confinement or detention for the purpose of punishment, while a sentence is the legal judgment or decree imposing penalties on an individual who has been found guilty of a crime. A sentence can include various components such as fines, community service, probation, and imprisonment itself.
A trial court is any court that conducts trials or hearings to determine the facts and issues legal disputes. This can include both civil and criminal trial courts, such as district courts, circuit courts, or magistrate courts.
Bail is a sum of money or other security deposited with a court to ensure that an accused person appears at their future court hearings. It is intended to secure the release of a defendant from custody pending trial and serves as a financial incentive for them to attend all required proceedings.
