Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A summary trial is commonly used for misdemeanors and ordinance violations as it is a simplified and expedited trial. It involves a judge, and sometimes a jury, hearing evidence and making a verdict based on that evidence. This type of trial is typically faster and less formal than a regular trial. Information (B) refers to the formal charging document in a criminal case, arrest warrant (C) is issued by a judge or magistrate authorizing the arrest of a person suspected of a crime, and grand jury (D) is a group of citizens called to determine whether there is enough evidence to bring a criminal case to trial. These options are not typically used for misdemeanors or ordinance violations.
