He should have been brought to court today.
CrRLJ 3.2.1 (d) (1) adult....any accused detained in jail must be brought before a court of limited juriisdiction as soon as practicable after the detention is commenced, but in any event before the close of business on the next court day.
Where are you located/what court are we talking about?
