People put on trial for a crime were held in jail. Trials commonly skewed in favor of the prosecution

The way the system worked was that one man would have to accuse another man of a crime. They would bring the person before an official of the state and the convicted would be brought to a jail to await trial. The trial would usually be brief and favored the prosecution. The convicted's fate would be decided by a judge or official. Then, whatever sentence decided would be carried out. 

If you were on noble blood, the rules would be very different if you were a peasant. Noble men were in favor of the Queen, so noblemen would get less severe punishments than a commoner for the same crime.
