What is an arraignment hearing

[Sparky]

Wife has one tomorrow. I told her to try get a public defender before she goes. She hasn't done it. What is she in for?

An arraignment hearing is a hearing at which the defendant is informed of the charges and bail - if not already provided - is discussed.

Criminal matters that involve any chance of jail time really need an attorney. If you are not indigent, you won't get a public defender. She needs to call an attorney today.

She will also need to enter a plea.

It's a hearing before her court date. You she is told and informed of her charges. They will establish her identity.. She is also informed of her rights and they may want her to enter a plea.. Not sure

Beat me to it

First appearance, informed of charges.

Free attorneys - You get what you pay for.

If you are guilty and don't want to spend the money, see if you can't arrange a favorable plea with the prosecutor. They normally want to settle quickly, as long as they can get a conviction.

She has not even went and got the police report. She doesn't even know what happened because she was to drunk. God I am glad we are split up.

Failure to deal intelligently with criminal charges means she's gonna get hosed.

She needs to get an an attorney now.

This is for a resisting arrest charge and interfering with a public official. She never went to jail just detox. Will they set bail? Or will she even have a bail?
