Awaiting charges and languishing in jail Unless charged, the police must release the defendant. Laws may vary from state to state. Unlike California, where the police can only hold someone for 48 hours without charging them, Mississippi has no maximum time limits.
At a preliminary hearing the judicial officer shall determine probable cause and the conditions for release, if any. A finding of probable cause may be based on hearsay evidence. Objections to evidence on the ground that it was acquired by unlawful means are not properly made at the preliminary hearing.
Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for more than one year is called a felony. Felonies are the most serious crimes. The prosecutors and the courts handle felony cases differently from misdemeanor cases (cases that have shorter possible sentences).
Once indicted, the next step is arraignment. The arraignment is where the defendant charged will plead guilty or not guilty. In most, if not all cases, the person charged will enter a not guilty plea at the arraignment. During the arraignment, the defendant will have the benefit of counsel.
For most crimes, the state loses the power to charge you with a crime 5 years after the crime is committed. Like most other facets of the law there are exceptions, here are a few. If the crime committed was rape there is no statute of limitations.
