Setting criminal trials
(a) Set at arraignment. Criminal trials are set at the arraignment.
(b) Procedure. The parties need to be prepared at the arraignment to discuss how much time is needed for the trial based upon the factual issues and the number of witnesses the parties reasonably believe they will call. The court may set reasonable time limits each party will have to question prospective jurors and to present the case, i.e., opening statement, direct examination, cross-examination, redirect examination, rebuttal, objections, and closing argument. The parties will be required to complete each phase of the trial within the time allotted.
(c) Motion to increase time. After the trial date is set, if either party believes the trial will take more time than allotted, the party must file a motion showing why the time allotted is not sufficient including specific facts that were not known at the arraignment and how much additional time is requested. The motion must be supported by affidavit or declaration.
