GENERAL INFORMATION The District Attorney acts as the State’s prosecutor on behalf of the People, as crimes committed are considered a public offense against society. In rare exceptions, the State Attorney General’s Office may prosecute a case, and the Criminal Grand Jury may Indict someone with an alleged crime. The prosecuting attorney presents the charge against the accused person (defendant) on behalf of the State (plaintiff), and must prove to the judge or jury that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. California statutes generally classify a crime as either a felony or a misdemeanor. A felony is a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment in a state prison or by death. A misdemeanor is a lesser offense than a felony and generally is punishable by fine or imprisonment in county jail rather than in a state penitentiary. Our office cannot provide legal advice.

How do I make a payment on a fine? If you were ordered to pay a fine to the “court” you may send your payment to the Criminal Division (address above) or pay it in person at the Criminal Division, Windows 12 through 15. DO NOT MAIL CASH. If you were ordered to pay your fine through the Collections Division (installment payments) please contact the Collections Division at (530)740-1830. What is a misdemeanor? A misdemeanor is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail, or by fine, or both. Defendants who plead guilty to a misdemeanor may be sentenced during the arraignment, unless the judge wishes to postpone sentencing in order to study a probation report. During the arraignment, if a defendant pleads not guilty to a misdemeanor, the judge will set the date for a trial. The trial will be held within 30 days if the defendant is in custody or within 45 days if the defendant is not in custody, unless the defendant waives the right to a speedy trial (waives time). What is a felony? A felony is a crime punishable by death, or imprisonment in the state prison, formal probation or county jail and fines. If a defendant pleads guilty to a felony at the arraignment, he or she must be represented by an attorney (unless the defendant, in a non-capital case, waives the right to one). After a guilty plea, the judge will set the case for sentencing. If a defendant pleads not guilty to a felony, a preliminary hearing is held. At this hearing the prosecutor must show evidence that the defendant committed a felony and should be brought to trial. If the judge decides there is enough evidence, the defendant will be arraigned a second time in superior court, where the defendant again will be formally charged, rights will be explained, and a plea will be made. The case may proceed to jury trial at that point. When is my court hearing? Contact the Criminal Division at (530)740-1800, Option 4. How do I either advance or extend my court date?

If you do not hire your own lawyer, you can ask the Court to appoint one. To do this, you must go to your first court appearance and ask the judge. If the Court determines the defendant meets the qualifications, an attorney will be appointed. When the court appoints a public defender, or other counsel, a determination may be made of the defendant's ability to pay fees for services. If the Court determines the defendant has the ability to pay, the Court will order that the defendant must pay all or part of the costs. Such an order has the same force and effect as a civil judgment. Can I bring my child to court? You will not be allowed in the courtroom with a child. Be sure to make alternative arrangements for child care so that you do not miss your court date. What is the dress code for the courtroom? No shorts or tank tops are allowed in the courtroom. You will be asked to remove your hat and sunglasses. Food, drinks, and gum chewing are NOT allowed in the courtroom. Weapons are NOT allowed in the Courthouse. How can I find out about someone in custody and what happened to them? If a defendant is in custody, he or she has the right to an arraignment. At this hearing the judge will officially tell defendants about their constitutional rights and explain the charges against them. Also, bail (property, usually money, temporarily given to ensure that a person released from custody will return at an appointed time) may be raised or lowered. Defendants will be asked to plead to the charges against them: guilty, not guilty, or, in some cases, nolo contendere (no contest). In-Custody arraignments generally are heard at 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Check the court calendar posted in the second floor lobby for specific times and departments, or contact the Criminal Division at (530) 740-1800, Option 4.

You must call or come in to the Criminal Division one week in advance to be scheduled for the walk-in calendar. If you have a felony violation, you will need to contact your attorney. How long will it take to have my bail refunded? Refunds on cash bail are processed automatically upon court order.
