|
|
|
-
Upon receiving the completed police reports, the case is reviewed by a deputy district attorney. The deputy district attorney will thoroughly review the reports and the defendants criminal or traffic record and decide what, if any, charges may be filed against the defendant. In certain felony cases, a vertical prosecutor may be assigned to the case. The vertical prosecutor will be assigned to the case from filing to sentencing. Occasionally, the deputy district attorney may send the case back to the police agency for further investigation. The deputy district attorney may request that the police agency obtain additional witness statements, collect additional evidence, etc. Sometimes the case may be submitted to an investigator in the District Attorneys Office for further investigation.
