    Are you sure that isn’t a sit-com?

    Who would want to be a jail guard? Not just anyone. Anger management.

    I haven’t thought the issue through much but I tend to disagree with your assessment of the futility of a First Appearance hearing. For example, if the kid who was mistaken as a sex offender was not released prior to court then it would have been very beneficial for him to have a First Appearance and discuss mistaken identity. And, even though most of our clients waive their right not to speak to police when Mirandized and fail to ask for a lawyer upon arrest, it certainly is preferable that they receive similar warnings again which may have a reinforcing effect on the prior warnings. In some cases this may be the first time that a person is given any warnings because not all arrests result in subsequent questioning triggering Miranda.
