A: You need to get an attorney, who will review the evidence and review the case. There may be some appropriate motions that need to be filed. Requesting the copy of the dash cam and body cam will help in the attorney's investigation. The arraignment is when the court informs the Defendant of the charges he is facing. The state has up until arraignment to add, subtract, or amend charges. He will need an attorney to argue the obstruction charge. I hope this helps.
