1.1. First Advisement Hearing in Colorado
Depending on the county, the
1st advisement hearing will be the first court appearance after an arrest. This generally takes place shortly after arrest, usually the next business day, although it could occur on a weekend.
When the accused appears before the judge, the judge will advise the accused that he or she under investigation on suspicion of committing a crime. An investigation generally means the prosecutor has not filed charges yet and may be deciding what charges to file or whether to file charges at all.
The
judge will set bond during the advisement hearing in Colorado, except for
homicideinvestigations.
The judge may also advise the accused of his or her rights and ask
whether the accused has an attorney, plans to hire a lawyer, or needs to have a public defender appointed. Before the accused can get a public defender, he or she has to meet certain income-level requirements.
