Arraignment
The arraignment can occur anywhere between three months and eighteen months after the arrest. At the arraignment, the charges against the accused will be read to the accused by the judge or prosecutor, unless an attorney waives reading of the complaint. Afterwards the accused will enter a plea or GUILTY or NOT GUILTY. Sometimes, the judge will address representation at the arraignment. So, the case will not be delayed.
