Whether or not there is going to be a trial is a decision that is made between you and your attorney once the full circumstances of the case, the position of the Commonwealth, and the positions of any witnesses are known. All those are factors as to whether or not the case goes to trial. The client is the one that ultimately makes the decision of whether or not the case goes to trial after hearing the sound advice of their counsel.
