Legal Question in Criminal Law in Nevada

Re: 72 hour hold

The typical time for bringing someone for arraignment will be 48 hours. However, if there are circumstances such as a holiday, a sick judge, sick inmate, etc.; the delay for one extra day would not be considered unreasonable.

A court would look at the length of delay, the reason behind it, and the prejudice it brings against the defendant in determining what remedy to take.
