“MAGISTRATE” in italiano

Noise began to arise from the court but the magistrate beckoned for silence.

The magistrate ordered he be remanded in custody to reappear in court next month.

The lawyers sit at the bar table facing the magistrate and the defendant sits with his or her lawyer.

The magistrate found that the prosecution had not satisfied the onus of proof that was required.

I noticed in the record that the magistrate did admit evidence of the other convictions.
