1 Answer from Attorneys
The charge is a felony. All felonies are in the District Court in NM. Preliminaries, such as bond, etc., are held in the magistrate court, which can do the arraignment, but has no jurisdiction over felonies. The defendant will be arraigned in DC, bond will be set, and the process of heading towards trial will begin. Whether the inmate is released depends upon whether or not he can meet the bond requirements of the DC.
