When an arraignment hearing is held the purpose of the arraignment hearing is to provide the accused with a reading of the crime with which he or she has been charged.
The arraignment hearing is the first part of the criminal procedure that occurs in a courtroom before a judge or magistrate.
During the arraignment hearing the arraignment hearing also gives the defendant an opportunity to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty once the charges are read by a prosecutor before a trial date is determined.
During the time the lawyer can then file a motion to dismiss case on the basis that the prosecution has based its case on false information.
