Criminal cases can be broadly divided into a pre-indictment investigation stage and a post-indictment trial stage. The procedures in a post-indictment trial stage vary depending on whether the defendant acknowledges the facts prosecuted and only sentencing remains at issue, or whether the defendant denies the facts prosecuted and pleads innocence. The latter case generally proceeds in the following order: Examination of evidence presented by the prosecution → Examination of evidence presented by the defendant → Demand of penalty by the prosecution → Final arguments by the defendant → Sentence of judgment after closing arguments.
Thus, in the post-indictment trial stage, it is important to first decide whether to acknowledge the facts prosecuted. If the defendant decides to plead innocence, it is necessary to effectively impeach the evidence presented by the prosecution, actively develop and present evidence to convince the court, and to present a logical and persuasive defense.
