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.
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.
