You will re rearrianged.About to be arrianged tomarrow.. Need advice?
Dave got it mostly right. Arraignment is a person's first appearance in court, excepting the probable cause hearing you had when you were first arrested. You will be asked if you have an attorney or if you can afford to hire one. Don't say anything about your case, just answer the judge's questions. If you tell the judge that you cannot afford to hire one, he will ask you questions about your resources: such as if you have a job, how much you earn, if you own any property. If the judge finds that you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. He will likely enter a plea of not guilty for you, and you will be set another court date. The time between these dates is the time for you to tell your attorney if you have a defense, or if you will such need to ';suck it up'; and plead guilty, which is usually the case. Be especially courteous to your public defender, even if he/she is not so much so to you. They are overworked, underpaid, and have heard every story you can imagine. Be honest with them. If you have a defense, most all will be glad to help. They wouldn't be doing that job if they didn't.
You will go in front of a judge, be advised of your rights, and the charges against you will be read. If you do not have an attorney, you will be asked if you can afford one. If not you will be given time to get one or have a public defender appointed to you. If you already have a lawyer, you should let them do all the talking. You can whisper your questions to them and they will advise you on how to answer. You will be asked how do you plead to the charges and you will answer. Then the Prosecutor and your attorney will have to strike some kind of a deal. It may not be the same day, so you may have to go back to court again. Then, after all is said and done, you will be sentenced. Fines and probation for less serious crimes, and jail for more serious offenses. Good Luck!!!!
Your name will be called, along with the crime(s) you've been accused of. The judge will ask how you plead. Do whatever your lawyer tells you to do.
Then, the judge will set bail if applicable. If your lawyer has an issue with what the prosecutor recommends for bail, he'll argue it. The judge will consider both sides, and set bail. And that's it. If you put forth bail, you go to your home. If you don't, you wait in jail until your trial.
If you can, have your lawyer do all the talking. In most courtrooms, the lawyer can say, ';Mr. So and So pleads not guilty.'; If that's the case, then SHUT UP. You can only make things worse by talking.
Say nothing. You can't spell, and if you talk the way you spell, you're doomed.
Why are you asking us? If you are going to court tomorrow then you should have a lawyer or at least a public defender.
No matter what.
Say nothing, get a lawyer, plead not guilty.
Then get you mouth piece to talk for you.
Say nothing, sit down, shut up and let your lawyer do the talking.
don't admit to the prostitution
