I am not familiar or even ignorant of the legal process. I am accused and my lawyer is confident that there will be no conviction and I will be acquitted. As for the legal process of my case, if I fail to appear on the any designated trial, the Judge will issue a warrant on me. Is this correct? If I am aquitted in the end after all the trials, is that the end of the legal process or do I have to report to an officer once in a while otherwise the officer will report to the court regarding my disappearance resulting in a new warrant on me? What is that process called, pre-trial probation? Thank you.
