The state is Michigan. My dad has been charged with some serious felony charges, was arraigned and bonded out by my aunt. During the district court proceeding, the charges were changed and bond amount changed. It's kind of confusing. He has two different cases and one case they lowered the charges and in the second case they raised the charges. Both cases they raised bail amounts for him and they took him to jail after the district court hearing. Both cases were bound over to circuit court. He has not been arraigned yet on the new charges. I talked to his lawyer who did not seem concerned that there was not a date set for arraignment yet. The lawyer plans on filing for a bail reduction hearing since where the bail is set now, not many people would be able to be bailed out. I just checked the court docket and he's not scheduled for arraignment until 9/30/24. That date is 4 weeks after he was taken into custody. He did not break his first bond. Is there a legal timeframe where someone has to be arraigned in this situation? Whether he's guilty or not, shouldn't he be treated as innocent until proven guilty?
