Re: Fifteenth Amendment Rights

I am not aware of any maximum time for arraignment

per se for Norfolk (or any other jurisiction, for that matter), but if the defendant is being held in custody, it would normally be within a week of his arrest, or, if he's been released, then within

a month or two of the arrest.
