The police

They do a number of things. When someone commits a crime (= breaks the law and does

something wrong/illegal/against the law) the police must investigate (= try to find out
what happened/who is responsible). If they find the person responsible for the crime, they
arrest rhem (= take them to the police station). At the police station, they question them
(= ask rhem questions to find out what they know) and if they are sure the person
committed the crime, the person is charged with the crime (= the police make an official
statement that they believe the person committed the crime). The person must then go to
court for trial.

The court

In court, the person charged with the crime (now called the defendant or accused) must try

to prove {- provide facts to show something is true) that they did not commit the crime; in
other words prove that they are innocentor guilty). The jury listens to all the evidence
(= information about the crime, for and against the defendant) and then makes their
decision.
