14.7 Charge Closing
1. When a judgment or order disposes of a charge, close the charge screen by completing
the disposition date, disposition type, judge, trial type, original plea and final plea fields.
For more information, see Pleas.
NOTES:
• Court trial is entered as trial type disposition only when an actual trial is held.
Except for the jury being present, the same set of circumstances as a jury trial
must exist, i.e., opening statements by attorneys, cross-examination of
witnesses, closing arguments and a finding by the court. The entry of a guilty
plea in open court is not a court trial.
• If a court trial or jury trial has been entered as the trial type, an original plea and
final plea must be entered.
• If an original plea has been entered, a final plea must be entered whether or not
the defendant changes the plea. If no plea is entered, (example: charge is
dismissed at arraignment), original and final plea are both left blank. Original
plea and final plea reflect what the defendant has entered regardless of a
different finding by the court.
