The people the detective thinks are criminals are called suspects. Sometimes the police know who the criminal is and sometimes they only think they do. Some suspects are criminals but some are not.

A lawyer is a person whose job is to speak for you in court. It is important to have someone who is very smart to speak for you. Lawyers are very smart people. A judge is the boss of court.

When the suspect comes to the court, everyone wants to know if he is guilty or innocent. Guilty means the suspect did the crime. If you are guilty, you are a criminal. If you are innocent it means you are not a criminal.
