The purpose of Criminal Court is to determine whether a person has committed a crime. If found guilty, an abuser can be punished and may have a criminal record. Cases in Criminal court are prosecuted by our office, the Office of the Richmond County District Attorney. The District Attorney, not the victim, decides if there is enough evidence for the case to proceed. The victim is not a party to the action. Rather, the victim is a witness for the prosecution.
