What Happens During a Murder Trial?
A murder trial usually follows a set path: opening statements, prosecutor evidence, defense evidence, closing arguments and finally the verdict. Each step matters because it can shift how jurors see the case. For example, a single eyewitness can change the direction of testimony, while forensic evidence often backs up what the police found at the scene.
During the prosecutor’s phase, the state presents its case to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime. The defense then gets a chance to challenge that proof—maybe by showing an alibi or questioning the reliability of a witness. After both sides speak, the jury (or judge in a bench trial) deliberates and decides guilt or innocence.
