A criminal charge is a formal accusation made by a governmental authority asserting that somebody has committed a crime. A charging document, which contains one or more criminal charges or counts, can take several forms, including:

The charging document is what generally starts a criminal case in court, but the procedure by which somebody is charged with a crime, and what happens when somebody has been charged, varies from country to country.

Before a person is proven guilty the charge must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Beyond a reasonable doubt is when the charges are proven true and that there is no other possible explanation except that the defendant committed the crime.

There can be multiple punishments due to certain criminal charges. Minor criminal charges such as misdemeanors, tickets, and infractions do not have that harsh of punishments. The judge usually sentences the person accused of committing the charges right after the hearing. The punishments usually include things like fines, suspension, probation, a small amount of jail time, or alcohol and drug classes. If the criminal charges are considered more serious like a felony then there is a more lengthy process for determining the punishment. Felonies include the most serious crimes such as murder and treason. There is a separate trial to determine the punishments for the criminal charges committed.
