Julian is accused of committing arson and has received an indictment. What is the next step in the pretrial process?

After an indictment, the next step is usually an arraignment, where the defendant is formally told the charges and enters a plea. Julian has already received the indictment, so a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed is generally no longer the next step. The correct choice is “He will go to an arraignment and formally enter a plea.”
