Some of the cases were just indicted by the last grand jury. They are set for arraignment later this month. Some of the others haven't been to the grand jury yet. Another GJ term is also later this month. From arraignment, and assuming the person isn't a youthful offender, it should take around 2-3 months to go to trial or plead.
I have a question for you lawguy07. I understand the process, but why is this done ? why If there is PC for a warrant, do we bound it over to the GJ ? would it be easier to or should I say quicker, if there is PC in the hearing and was just shot though the process would it not save time, for the defendant. I do not understand and just never took the time to ask someone, maybe you can help me on this one.
Well I think that I know why the Judge does it, but would it be better as an attorney or a defendant, esc. if that person is in jail awaiting trail ? thank you in advance for comment made on this. I understand the GJ, and the prim. hearings. maybe this is a stupid question on my part, but I thought that the 2 processes were pretty much the same.
