| Description | This chapter discusses the stages of criminal litigation, and explore how a sound cybercrime investigation will result in a sound prosecution. Litigation puts each piece of evidence gathered and every investigative step taken under a microscope, as defense attorneys search for legal avenues and factual arguments that could undermine the prosecution's case. When prosecutors decide to move forward with a criminal case, the litigation occurs over several stages – including charging, discovery, pre-trial proceedings, plea-negotiation or trial, sentencing, and possible appeals. The filing of criminal charges indicates an intent and ability by prosecutors to see the litigation through to the end – to trial if needed, and through post-trial defense motions. Plea negotiations are influenced heavily by speculation about how the litigation might play out, how the judge might rule on future legal issues, the strength of the prosecution's evidence, the likelihood the defendant might be convicted, and the judge's sentencing decision if the defendant is convicted after trial.
