If the suspect pleads guilty, the judge may impose sentence during the?

Question

Interrogation, Arraignment, Indictment, Adudictatory Hearing?
PLEASE ANSWER ONE OF THESE!

Answer 1

Arraignment--although in many systems the judge may not impose sentence then (because a presentence investigation report has to be filed, etc.)

I'm assuming that "Adudicatory hearing" is supposed to be "adjudicatory hearing," which is a nonstandard term and may be state-specific. To me, that term sounds like some sort of factfinding hearing, either for guilt (when a jury trial may or may not apply) or for sentencing (to find facts related to the sentence). In the federal system, there are special "sentencing hearings" that take place, and at that time the judge usually does enter a sentence. But based on the form of the question, (i.e. when can a judge impose sentence), arraignment would be the right answer.

Answer 2

Arraignment, though that is not always the case. Usually, the judge will arrange for an evidentiary hearing afterwards.

Niether of the other 3 make sense:
The interrogation does not involve a judge.
An indictment is the formal charge.
An adjudicatory hearing occurs in juvenile cases when the judge decides if there is enough evidence for the case to continue.

Answer 3

Arraignment. None of the others apply.

Answer 4

Arraignment is when you plead guilty, so I would assume then.
