Common questions about Criminal Defense in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

Do I have to talk to police if I'm arrested in Arizona?

No. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article 2 § 10 of the Arizona Constitution protect your right to remain silent. Once you have invoked the right (clearly state 'I am invoking my right to remain silent and want a lawyer'), questioning must stop until counsel is present. You must still provide identifying information when lawfully arrested, but you are not required to discuss the alleged offense.

What is an arraignment in Arizona criminal court?

An arraignment is the first formal court appearance after charges are filed - typically within 24-48 hours of arrest. The defendant hears the charges, enters a plea (almost always 'not guilty' at this stage), and the court addresses bail or release conditions. For felonies, the equivalent first appearance is the Initial Appearance, with arraignment in Superior Court occurring after preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment.

What is the statute of limitations for crimes in Arizona?

Limitations periods are set by ARS § 13-107. There is no statute of limitations for Class 1 felonies (including murder). Most other felonies have a 7-year limit; misdemeanors have a 1-year limit. The clock is tolled (paused) during periods when the defendant is absent from Arizona or when their identity is unknown.
