-1. The Judge confirms that every required person is present, and begins the hearing.
-2. The Prosecution reads the charges. Any crimes not charged are not subject to the hearing and cannot be accounted for in sentencing.
-3. The Prosecution presents all evidence to support the charges.
-4. The Attorney contests the prosecution's version of events and presents their own evidence.
-5. The Judge rules on whether the suspect reasonably has committed the crime. If the accused is found not guilty of a more severe version of a crime, the Judge may still find them guilty of a less severe version (for example if found not guilty of murder, the accused may be found guilty of manslaughter), despite the crime not being charged.
