So, the CPS have decided to charge someone with murder.
Person appears at the Magistrates court to get charged.
Person is then sent to appear at the Crown court at the end of the month.
Would the appearance at the Crown court be for the actual trial? Or just another charge thing with the trial to follow at a later date?

I would say it'd be a pre-lim hearing and setting a date for trial, i mean it doesn't give the defendant any time to speak to a lawyer and prepare a defence with them.
You should be able to find out though, court listings are on the internet. Although think they are only today and tomorrow.
