This book records the evolutionary course of criminal proceedings from the initiation of prosecution to the final adjudication of the case.

It is an interpretative work that systematically investigates the procedural phases of criminal trials, defines them in their practical dimension, and enriches them with recent jurisprudential positions. Through this combined systematic analysis, solutions are provided that are theoretically clear and practically straightforward.

The purpose of the work is, therefore, educational-interpretative and it is addressed to the student of Criminal Procedure and to practitioners in the field of criminal law: the judge and the lawyer. Ultimately, it is an interpretation that supports practice while being supported by practice itself.
