4) Bail: Judge decide if you can go home before your set court date or if you must stay in jail.

Bail is money you give court in place of your body. You get it back if you show up at your

court date.

5) Preliminary Hearing: Judge will decide if there’s enough evidence for a trial or if to let you go.

Grand Jury: In fed cases, instead of a judge, a jury gets to decide if there’s enough evidence for a trial or to let you go (same function as a prelim hearing)

6) Indictment: Formally charged, it’s if a prelim hearing or grand jury says you need to go to trial.

7) Plea Bargain: After indictment, and before trial date, DA tries to give you a deal where you confess for a lower punishment. 90% of cases.
