| In Court | ||||||
|
When Court begins, the Judge will advise you
of your rights and the pleas available to you:
Guilty, No Contest, Not Guilty |
||||||
|
Guilty
A plea of guilty is a complete admission of your guilt. No Contest A plea of no contest is not an admission of guilt, but is an admission of the facts alleged in the Complaint or Ticket and such a plea shall not be used against you in any subsequent civil or criminal proceedings. If you plead Guilty or No Contest, it is likely you will be sentenced immediately. If there are any Community Control Sanctions ordered, the Probation Department will set up these conditions with you at this time. You will then go to the Clerk's Office to set up any jail time and/or pay court costs. |
||||||
| Not Guilty | ||||||
|
A plea of not guilty is a denial of the allegation
contained in the Complaint or Ticket. You will be given a notice
of the date and time to return to the Court for a pretrial or trial.
|
||||||
| Court Appointed Attorney | ||||||
|
If you are charged with a jailable offense, and
do not have money for an attorney, you may request to have an attorney
appointed to you. As of September 29, 2005, Ohio Law requires all
persons requesting a court-appointed attorney to pay a $25.00 application
fee.
