It\u2019s a hearing in which an individual, who abused you with a crime, is formally charged by the court.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Usually, arraignment is the first thing that happens in the court when the abusive individual is detained, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/wex\/district_attorney_(da)#:~:text=A%20district%20attorney%20is%20a,in%20a%20particular%20judicial%20district.\">district attorney<\/a> files a complaint against them. However, the arraignment will normally happen after the \u2018show cause\u2019 hearing if you choose to file the complaint on your own.

However, the court wouldn\u2019t ask you to participate in the discussion at the arraignment \u2013 but the assistant district attorney may allow you to voice your concerns or opinions at some other hearing. The assistant district attorney will tell you the date for appearing and testifying about the abuse.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens after the arraignment?<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2240\" src=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/a-24-hour-bail-agent-1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"a 24-hour bail agent\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/a-24-hour-bail-agent-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/a-24-hour-bail-agent-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/a-24-hour-bail-agent-1.jpg 721w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>The abusive individual will have to go to court to attend a <a href=\"https:\/\/legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com\/Pretrial+Conference#:~:text=A%20pretrial%20conference%20is%20a,both%20civil%20and%20criminal%20cases.\">pre-trial conference<\/a>. During this conference, the case may be settled if the abusive individual pleads guilty. However, if this person doesn\u2019t plead guilty, a trial date will be set by the court. You\u2019ll be informed about any dates by the victim\/witness advocate at the office of the district attorney.<\/p>\n<h2>Will someone inform you if the abusive individual gets released on bail?<\/h2>\n<p>If the abusive individual pays bail and the court releases them, the police should inform you. But sometimes, the police won\u2019t tell you. However, you can always call the victim\/witness advocate or courthouse to check. If they\u2019re released, always review your plans to stay safe.<\/p>\n<h2>Will the individual who abused you have to go to jail post-arraignment?<\/h2>\n<p>Well, it depends. While the judge may send the abusive individual to jail post-arraignment, this doesn\u2019t usually happen. If the judge sets no bill, the court will release the individual who abused you until the trial. If the judge sets bail, the abusive individual will remain in jail until they pay the bill.<\/p>\n<h2>Get the lowest bond rates available in the state with DeLaughter Bail Bonds\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/types-of-bail-bonds\/\">24-hour bail bond service<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/about\/\">DeLaughter Bail Bonds<\/a>, our mission is to become a premier provider of bail bond services in Fulton County, Huntington County, and Whitley County, IN, while being non-judgmental and offering utmost professionalism, respect, and standards of service.
