More info at https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/... or call (855) 999-7755 An arraignment is usually the first hearing in the case. At the arraignment, the defendant usually enters a plea of not guilty, is advised of the charges against him, received the police reports and other documents from the prosecutor, and the case is set for a pretrial or other future hearing. If the defendant is in custody, the judge will often consider the issue of bail and possibly an OR release.
