Does he have the right to file a motion to dismiss for no arraignment and he did this up to the judge who said he must have feel through the cracks?

This matter should be evaluated and handled by a local attorney practicing

And, if one (for whatever reason) has yet to be hired, your son should

have one hired ASAP. (If finances happen to be the reason, your son should

ask the court to appoint him a lawyer.)
