Between the time that the police make an arrestand a case is eventually resolved at sentencing, traditional prosecutions involve several steps withpsychological implications. One feature of traditionalprosecutions with obvious psychological overtones isa trial. The grand finale in our adversary system ofjustice—the trial—is a public battle waged by twocombatants (prosecution versus defense in a criminaltrial, plaintiff versus defendant in a civil trial), eachfighting for a favorable outcome. Trials can befiercely contested; prosecutors desire convictions,criminal defendants seek their freedom throughacquittals, civil plaintiffs want compensation forwrongs they have suffered, and civil defendants hopeto be absolved of wrongdoing and not required to paydamages. Psychological issues abound.Although the trial may be the most visible anddramatic ritual in our system, many other factors playlarger—often decisive—roles in determining caseoutcomes. For example, in the weeks and months following arrest, many criminal cases are simplydismissed for lack of evidence or other difficulties thatprosecutors perceive in the case. Of some 49,000defendants charged with a felony from 1990 to 2002in the 75 most populous counties in the United States,24% had their cases dismissed prior to trial (Cohen &Reaves, 2006).For the vast majority of people charged withcrimes and not fortunate enough to have the chargesdropped,plea bargains, not trials, resolve their cases.Plea bargaining, described in more detail later in thechapter, is a process in which a defendant agrees toplead guilty in exchange for some concession fromthe prosecutor. Such concessions typically involve areduction in the type of charge, the number ofcharges, or the recommended sentence. By pleadingguilty, defendants give up their right to a trial,allowing attorneys and judges to move on to othercases. The vast majority of civil cases are also resolvedwithout a formal trial in a process termedsettlementnegotiation, described in more detail in this chapter.If most cases are settled without a trial, why is oursociety (including psychologists who work in the legalarena) so fascinated by trials and trial procedures?Without a doubt, there are theatrical aspects to manytrials, especially those featured in news media, films,and novels.
