Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 12-4505
- Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
Amendments to the complaint may be permitted by the court before trial. Once the trial commences, the court may permit a complaint to be amended before judgment, if no additional or different offense is charged, and if substantial rights of the accused person are not prejudiced.
