After all, it is one of the most frequently occurring and is about:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Any offense that warrants a <strong>minor penalty<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Refers to behaviors that do not correspond to serious acts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">They imply that a <strong>lawsuit<\/strong> has been filed by a person affected by it<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Prison is not an applicable penalty for these<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All this, in accordance with the provisions of the <strong>Penal Code<\/strong> and the reform carried out 8 years ago. Now, do you know how a misdemeanor trial is conducted?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Misdemeanor_trial_step_by_step\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Misdemeanor trial step by step<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Of course, like any procedure, the trial of misdemeanors must be governed by a series of steps and regulations. Among these we can mention the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The <strong>claim period<\/strong> is limited to the date on which the crime occurred. In this case, we are talking about a maximum term of 6 months to be able to sue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are offenses that can be brought to trial without having to wait too long. This is in accordance with <strong>articles 962 and 963<\/strong> found in the prosecution legislation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After a complaint, you can wait up to 7 days for the judge&#8217;s decision to open the trial. It should be noted that the legal figure who will be in charge of the case must be an <strong>examining mag<\/strong>istrate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the event that the complainant does not appear in the legal proceedings of the case, the case may end up being resolved in favor of the respondent. Otherwise, the trial will be held pending the availability of those involved.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The process involves depositions by both parties as well as the intervention of witnesses. In the end, it will be up to the examining magistrate to establish the final verdict.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Therefore, it is important that each party to the <strong>misdemeanor trial<\/strong> complies with its duties throughout the proceedings. In this way, a satisfactory resolution can be reached, especially for the person who has been affected by a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_offenses_considered_minor\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What are the offenses considered minor?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are many actions that fall into the <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dpej.rae.es\/lema\/delito-leve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">category of misdemeanor<\/a> and these can be found well summarized in the law. Specifically, we refer to the Penal Code, which states this information in Article 33.4. Examples include less serious <strong>reckless homicides <\/strong>or <strong>assaults without serious injury<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also noteworthy within this type of crime are <strong>thefts of <\/strong>less than 400,000 euros or <strong>reckless injury<\/strong>. As you can see, these are actions in which there is no real intention or the damage has not been so great.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_keep_up_with_crime\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to keep up with crime?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The best way to know which offenses qualify as misdemeanors for trial is to have the best legal counsel.
