Title: Robert Crais, please read this!
Product review: Great read, but please bone up on basic california crimimal procedure!Defendants are not "bound over" from the municipal arraignment to superior court arraignment. Evidence is rarely presented at the municipal court arraignment. After muni arraignment comes the preliminary hearing where the judge decides if there is sufficient evidence to bind over to superior court. [p. 212, 222]Also, an out-of custody defendant will not be booked, arraigned on a felony, cut a deal, and be sentenced on the same day. [p.359] Too much paperwork, too many players to accomplish everything at once.
