Question: I was released on bond for a simple battery charge (misdemeanor) last January. I recently received a letter in the mail stating that i was to appear in court for a bond arraignment. What can i expect to happen in court seeing as though the incident happened over 2 years ago?

Answer: The words "bond arraignment" do NOT appear anywhere in your letter. I suspect that you have an arraignment, where you will plead guilty or not guilty, which has nothing to do with bond. It you have a date that is related to bond it is a bond revocation date, which are extremely rare, but may occur if you have contact with a victim you are not supposed to have contact with. See website for an explanation of all court dates: www.lawrencelewispc.com The fact that the incident happened two years ago has nothing to do with anything. What you can expect in court is a function of how you prepare for court. You walk in with a lawyer, good things will happen. You walk into court representing yourself, talking about the incident was two years ago, and repeating something that you learned on-line you will probably talk yourself into jail Good luck.
