Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If a defendant is
arrested and brought without unreasonable delay before a judge
who, or a court which, does not have jurisdiction to try the case,
the defendant shall be committed to await trial in a court with jurisdiction and all papers shall be sent forthwith to that court. In
lieu of commitment, the judge may release the defendant if the
defendant posts bond for the defendant’s appearance in such
court, or the judge may release the defendant on the defendant’s
recognizance for such appearance, or the judge may release the
defendant without bail. The court to which the case is sent may
similarly release the defendant.
