During the arraignment hearing the prosecutor or judge would read the charges to the defendant so he understood what he was being charged with and could, in response, decide if he needed to hire an attorney, gather up witnesses and other evidence or simply plead guilty.
So what happens at an arraignment? During the arraignment, also referred to as the first appearance, the defendant is informed of the charges they are facing and their constitutional rights. The defendant typically enters a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest during this proceeding.
The arraignment judge checks that the defendant knows the charges they face. The court assigns the defendant an attorney if they don't have one. Defendants enter a plea to the charges.
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.
