Yes, you can absolutely go to jail at an arraignment in California. An arraignment is the first court appearance after an arrest.
So what happens at an arraignment? During the arraignment, also referred to as the first appearance, the defendant is informed of the charges they are facing and their constitutional rights. The defendant typically enters a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest during this proceeding.
11.0 HEARING AND SUBMISSION OF MOTIONS If the motion requires consideration of facts not appearing of record, the movant shall serve and file copies of all affidavits, depositions, photographs or documentary evidence which the movant desires to submit in support of the motion.
While an arraignment is an opportunity for a defendant to hear the charges against them and enter a plea, an indictment is a legal document formally charging a defendant with a crime and is usually only used in felony cases.
Not Guilty Plea This is the most common initial plea, and your criminal defense attorney will likely enter a not-guilty plea at your arraignment to begin the process.
The arraignment judge checks that the defendant knows the charges they face. The court assigns the defendant an attorney if they don't have one. Defendants enter a plea to the charges.
A motion to show cause is used to bring one party's failure to comply with a Court order to the Court's attention. The motion to show cause must be completely filled out and must be supported by an Affidavit.
An order to show cause (O.S.C.), is a court order or the demand of a judge requiring a party to justify or explain why the court should or should not grant a motion or a relief. For example, if a party requests a restraining order from a judge, the judge may need more information.
Appellate courts often issue orders to show cause to lower courts requesting that the lower court explain why the appellant should not be granted the relief requested by the writ or appeal. An order to show cause is always an interim order (because it is never the first nor the final action in a legal action).
