OVERVIEW:
In Greene County, the District Judges hear cases for crimes that occur in their districts. A guilty person can receive fines in district court of up to $1,000 along with court costs; the District Judges can also send people to jail. Most of the charges brought to the district court have sentences of up to 90 days. The maximum sentence to be issued is six months for certain violations.
Repeat offenders receive harsher punishment each time they come back to district court. The District Judges decide whether the defendant is guilty or innocent in all cases except criminal cases. In criminal cases, the District Judges hold preliminary hearings to arraign defendants and set bail. Also in the preliminary hearing, the prosecution must show that there is enough evidence for a trial in a higher court.
