Question 5 • Law Studies - B

Which of the following scenarios represents arraignment?

Answer
A
The police arrest a woman and put her in jail overnight.
B
The police arrest a man and he appears in court the next day to enter a plea.
C
A criminal suspect is in court listening to witnesses discuss the case.
D
A criminal suspect is in a court in front of a grand jury.

Explanation

An arraignment is a court hearing where a person accused of a crime is formally told the charges and asked to enter a plea, such as guilty or not guilty. In choice B, the man appears in court the next day to enter a plea, which is the key part of an arraignment. An overnight stay in jail alone, as in A, is not an arraignment.
