Why is Downtown LA open for criminal defense citations?
Arrests booked Downtown are arraigned at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center and the Metropolitan Courthouse, and the searches name those buildings: what happens at arraignment, the 48-hour rule, whether a lawyer can appear instead. The answers come from county pages and bail-bond sites.
