In what circumstances will a defendant be granted immunity from prosecution if his arraignment has been too long?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Valenzuela, 150 Cal.Rptr. 314, 86 Cal.App.3d 427 (Cal. App. 1978):

In People v. Morse (1970) 4 Cal.App.3d Supp. 7, 84 Cal.Rptr. 703, the appellate department of the superior court reversed a municipal court order which had dismissed a misdemeanor charge on account of a lapse of six days between arrest and arraignment. The appellate court concluded (at pp. 9-10, 84 Cal.Rptr. at p. 704) that "whatever other remedies may be available to a defendant whose arraignment is unduly delayed, immunity from prosecution is not one of them."
