 Once an indictment is returned, it is within the District Court's jurisdiction to set a bond.  I understand that.  But does that mean that when a defendant is arrested on a warrant issued based on an indictment that a JP can't read him his rights at the jail?  And, if that is the case, where is it in the Code?   Thanks a bunch.  | ||

 The answer is no.  The magistrate who (generally) works at or near the jail admonishing jailed defendants may still read a defendant his rights after indictment.  See Article 15.17 CCP.  | |||
