If you have been arrested for whatever reason, you are going to go through an arraignment process. During an arraignment, the judge will ask you if you plead guilty or not guilty. After they have your plea, the next step is to decide whether or not you are going to be able to get bail. The judge will ask the prosecutor what their stance on bail is, and then they will ask your attorney what they think about bail and the amount of bail that the prosecutor asked for.
