How is a case processed in the District Attorneys Office?
After a felony case is referred to the District Attorney’s office, it is presented to a grand jury. If the grand jury indicts the case it is then assigned to an assistant criminal district attorney and an investigator in the District Attorney’s office who will handle the case in district court. After a misdemeanor case is referred to the District Attorney’s office it is immediately assigned to an assistant criminal district attorney who will handle the case in a county court at law.
