Just about everyone is touched in some way by our criminal justice system. You, a relative or a friend may be arrested and charged with a crime. Or perhaps you've been the victim of one. Maybe you're a teacher, social worker or counselor who frequently needs clear answers to questions about criminal law so you can help others understand how the criminal justice system works. This part of Nolo's Legal Encyclopedia is for all of you, and for anyone else who wants to understand a little more about such modern-day dramas as the O.J. Simpson, Menendez brothers or Timothy McVeigh trial.
