Explain what proceedings take place at an arraignment?

What will be an ideal response?


The arraignment is the final stage before the trial, and the charges filed at this time are the charges on which the defendant will be tried. The arraignment is the first time in the pretrial process that the defendant is asked to formally declare a plea of guilty or not guilty. At the
arraignment hearing, the prosecutor has the dilemma of how much evidence he or she should present to convince the court. The prosecutor needs to present enough evidence to convince
the court that the defendant should be held over for trial.
