Rule 5.2. Initial Appearances
Currentness
Due process requires that an accused be brought before a Magistrate without unnecessary delay. Ordinarily, this would mean that a Defendant must be brought before the Court following arrest. If Court is not in session, then on the next successive working day. Any delay beyond that point may cause the case to be dismissed or defendant discharged.
