The video outlines the arraignment process in New York. Someone gets arrested and his or her information is put into the system. After they are booked a bail is set. Then there is a hearing followed by the arraignment. The part I found most interesting was if the person was not an American citizen going through the arraignment process they did not have some of the same options as an American as far a plea-bargains and such, also that there were penalties for people that were not citizens that went though the system and accepted some of the options only available to American citizens. Another thing I found interesting was that the eighth amendment makes is so judges can’t set excessive bails but they can set it so high that the person on trial can’t afford it. I agree with the book that the eighth amendment is pretty vague on that subject. KAM789
I agree with both of your main ideas you bought up. That is somewhat sad to the defendants who are not citizens and unfair. And I really like the Eighteenth Amendment on how is does not allow excessive amounts of bail to the defendants. NR789
I agree with KAM789. you put the process in order very well and explained that arraignment process and how it can effect families and the long process it takes SM789
Like you said, this is the process for New York, the process is slightly from place to place. The way it is formatted is a good way to keep the process speedy. The part regarding non-citizens was also very interesting in my opinion. When considering the 8th amendment, it makes me wonder what is considered excessive bail for each case. RMG789
I agree with KAM789 it was interesting knowing that if a suspect does not state they are not an American citizen they could face even more punishment. And hearing about the fact that non-American citizens don't have as much options as American citizens when going through the arraignment process. It brought to light to me how much harder it could be for non-American citizens going through the arraignment process. -CEM789
i also found the part where it discusses people are not citizens and they go through the arraignment process. However, most the time i do not think it is necessarily unfair, if for some reason they are going through the process or something happened and it was halted and the courts do not recognize it i see it as unfair or other situations where they are unjustly treated. But if you are in the United States and you are working and have a job and you are not a citizen and commit a crime then i do not really see it as unfair. Ramadan789
I also found the citizenship aspect to be very interesting, I tried looking up more information on the subject of illegal aliens and what consequences there might be for certain pleas if the information is unknown to the attorney but I could not find any information on it. It is definitely something I want to know more about since it does tie into our court system as well as the Constitution. -EAB789
The video explains to us the procedure your love one goes through when being arrested. The process is called an arraignment, it is basically all the steps you go through when being arrested. They include steps like being handed out an arrest number, are you a citizen or not? and your telephone. Always have someone home close to the phone because the court will call and do a cja interview to be able to set a bond. The answers the court will get from the interview will decide whether or not to set a bond or conclude the defendant might be a flight risk. A flight risk is simply wanting to know if the defendant will come back to the other court schedules. According to the book bail is provided under the Eighteenth Amendment. It does not just give you the right to a bail, it states reasonable bail should be handed. In other words no excessive amounts. If you do not have the enough money to get your own attorney, the court will assign you one. These attorneys are called public defenders, which were first brought up in Gideon v. Wainwright in 1963. This public defendant idea was bought up by the Supreme court, and is an interpretation of the Sixth Amendment. NR789
The video and the book have explained very well the steps of the arraignment process. After the suspect is arrested it could take up to 72 hours to see the arraignment process. After the arrest they will be in booking process where they make a arrest number. The criminal justice agency. They ask simple questions such as did you have a job? Do you have a family? Are you a citizen . Arraignment process put is when the suspect or the defendant plead guilty, not guilty or Nolo Contendere (i will not contest in Latin) this how ever is only for a few states. At the time before the initial appearance they make a docet number. They have to take a couple extra steps first through the initial appearance. Then move to the preliminary hearing, this hearing is the time for the prosecutor places evidence. Then they can have the arraignment, at the arraignment the judge with set or deny bail. If they are granted bail the prosecutor will more than likely fight the bail. At this time the have to present evidence on why you shouldn't have bail. The judge will also look at the CJA report. The process of arraignment can be tracked all across the world from here in the U.S.A. to North Ireland and Australia. For the U.S in the 6th amendment there is a Arraignment Clause. SM789
I think you did a very good job of explaining the arraignment process. I think that it is interesting what questions get asked after someone gets arrested, and how the answers affect the outcome to an extent like how much the bail will cost. I also thought it was interesting how the arraignment process can be tracked from anywhere as well. KAM789
This video is very interesting, he takes us step by step through the arraignment process. I remember talking about how economic status, education, and previous offences can effect a sentence, so it makes sense the same is true. A judge takes all these factors into consideration to determine whether or not this person is going to be a flight risk and whether a bail is not a necessity. He mentions later that these things affect the sentence later in court as well. Even those these things effect the price of bail, the 8th amendment protects us from excessive bail by the judge. I found it interesting that the process changed for someone who was not a citizen, and the man stressed how important it was for the attorney to know this before hand. If that is the case there are certain pleas that if used are going to create more consequences. This process is used to keep the 6th amendment, a speedy trial, its function is to get that person through the system and in court for trial as soon as possibly while still being fair. RMG789
The video and the text do a good job as to explaining arraignment. Arraignment is mainly a proceeding in which the suspect is informed of the charges against the individual and giving them the chance to plead guilty, not guilty or nolo contendere (this is required by the Due process of law and guaranteed by the 5th amendment). Nolo contendere is Latin for “I will not contest it” which in this case means that the suspect is not responding as guilty but they also are not saying they are not guilt. Usually the defendant will plead guilty to get lighter sentencing through plea bargaining which will then also result in no necessity of a trial. The plea bargain is negotiated between the defense council and the prosecutor in which they come to a satisfactory agreement. In some cases though, the defendant or the prosecutor may want to take a case trial. If the defense or prosecutor feel that they have enough evidence to win the case they will throw out the plea bargain and take a case trial, or it can even be that the defense attorney or the prosecutor feel like they can gain more publicity out of it leading to a case trial. -CEM789
After watching the video and reading the book on arraignment, they each were comparable. An arraignment is when a suspect is charged with a criminal offense and then has to decide whether they want to plea guilty or not guilty. In the book it says that the suspect must be notified as to what their charges are and must be given a chance to say what they want about the charges being pressed against them. I thought that it was interesting to hear how the charges and the arraignment process may be different if you are either a citizen or an alien. Also, suspects may be put through a flight risk which is determining whether the suspect will pay their bail and come back to court or not. There was a lot that I didn't know of about arraignment until reading the book and watching this video. -MH789
i agree with MH789 that there was a lot more to arraignment that i did not know about. I also did not really think about the arraignment process as if you are a citizen or an alien, especially the more chance that you are a flight risk. Ramadan789
This is an interesting video in arraignment in New York. Arraignment is when the suspect is being brought before the trial court, informed of the charges, and is asked to enter in a plea whether they are guilty or not guilty. However, in some states the defendant may enter in a plea of "nolo contendere" which in Latin means I will not argue or contest it. The reason for this is the defendant may still be fined or sentenced the plea does not admit whether you are guilty or not guilty. If the defendant pleads guilty they have agreed with a plea bargain between the prosecutor and themselves, and will sometimes receive a lesser charge. Plea Bargaining in Santobello v. New York "the Supreme Court held that plea bargaining is not only an essential part of the process but a high desirable part for many reasons." One reason being the cost to continue the trial and the time. Ramadan789
After watching the video and looking into the textbook I found that the arraignment process can seem like a big mess to go through but really there are 7 steps within the trial process (one of which is the actual arraignment) according to our textbook which the video refers to: Booking, Initial Appearance, Grand Jury or Preliminary Hearing, Indictment or Information, Arraignment, Plea Bargain, then either Guilty Plea or Trial. The video does a nice job of explaining what steps someone would need to take to ensure the best outcome for an individual going through the criminal arraignment process and may resolve some worries someone might have if they don't hear from their loved one for a few days. Without the knowledge that citizenship is a VERY important aspect of what new charges may be levied on the offender the loved one may not be able to help them keep these charges from being imposed should the illegal resident choose to plead a certain way. -EAB789
Arraignment is a court hearing where you or someone else is going to be read the charges and are going to plead guilty or not guilty. Then the judge will decide whether or not to set bail or not and how much that bail will be. Who that person is to the community and the ties to the community and others in the community will help the judge to make a decision on whether or not to grant bail or not. Then you need to indicate whether you can pay for bail or not and also whether or not you will need an attorney. LF789
This video talks about the steps of the arraignment process. There were also similarities points and facts about the arraignment in the book. The arraignment process is the first step the court takes when you are arrested. First they the court officer the person who organize and call the cases into the calendar will announce the case usually by calling out the case number. Then court officer or will bring the accused out from the prisoner holding area of the courtroom to the place in front of the judge where they have the defendants stand. Next the court may ask certain questions usually directed to either the prosecutor or the defense attorney. After that the judge will ask the prosecutor to make a statement with respect to bail. After the prosecutor is finished, say that if the person bail is requested, the judge will ask the defense lawyer to say something in response. Finally, after hearing once from both of the sides, the judge will make his finally decision about the bail. Jimho789

The video explained the process of arrest to arraignment in the city of New York by a lawyer he explains it in full detail it usually take about 24-72 hours from start to finish the process is explained as first a suspect is arrested and brought in then the police book the suspect in jail then the suspect gets his/her phone calls and all those privileges and they get a bail to get out of jail if they can afford it but most cant so they have to stay if they have to stay they get a document number then the prosecutor offers a plea to either plea guilty, not guilty, or no contest then if they refuse the judge has to set another bail if they are a flight risk thats when the judge will decide what to do if they can trust the suspect to shoe back up for court according to the book most often the defendant plead's guilty to the initial charge or to a lesser charge that has been agreed on through plea bargaining between the prosecutor and the defendant. Plus given the high rate of plea bargaining- accounting for 95% of criminal conviction in state courts it follows that the prosecutor, defense attorney, and defendant each ahve strong reason to engage in the practice. Both have numerous similarities TMilligan 789
