Arraignment Process In NYC | Jeff Greco Is A Criminal Defense Lawyer In NYC

Welcome To My Channel Greco Neyland, PC YouTube Channel. Today we will discuss about Arraignment Process In NYC

The arraignment process in New York City (NYC) follows a set of procedures that are fairly standard across the United States. Here's an overview of how the arraignment process typically works in NYC:

All right, so by now, you have gone through central booking, all right? You're waiting for your case to be arraigned. In the courthouse behind us on the first floor, you're going to see the arraignment parts. Now these parts run from 9.30 AM to 1 AM every single day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Everybody always asks, what happens at the arraignment? Okay, does this mean that my loved one's case is dismissed? Do they go to jail? None of the above. All right, here's generally what happens. When a case is arraigned, the charges are either read aloud or we waive the reading, okay? And the prosecutor at that time will talk to the judge on the record about what the alleged facts of the case are, and then whether or not the people are asking for bail or whether they are consenting to their release.
