Section: 970.01

970.01 Annotation In this case, the defendant remained in jail when the police went to the county courthouse two days after the defendant’s warrantless arrest to make their case. The defendant’s 6th amendment right to counsel attached when the court commissioner found probable cause, set bail, and executed a form that accused the defendant of a crime. It was of no 6th amendment consequence that the defendant never appeared in court during the probable-cause proceeding. Garcia v. Hepp, 65 F.4th 945 (2023).
