Indigent Appointment of Counsel
Once a defendant is indicted, the defendant is served with both the
indictment and the capias during this monthly scheduled sign-in (See Felony Bond / Sign In Procedures).
At that time, immediately following service, the defendant meets with a county public defender. During this initial meeting, the defendant, with the assistance of counsel, completes the Waiver of Arraignment (setting all trial dates), the Affidavit of Indigency, and an Order Appointing Counsel.
