Dear LJ Lawyer, er, Genie:
1. What is the proceeding called wherein a person being brought up on criminal charges goes before the judge and pleads guilty or not-guilty? Is that the indictment, or something else?
2. If a person is suspected of, say, a murder, and is held without bail, in what type of facility is he held, and how long can they keep him there before bringing formal charges? Can people visit him there?
3. What's the fastest that such a case can come to trial? Until it comes to trial, can the person be held?
