    Court date?
    After being arrested for a v.o.p and being held in jail w/o a bond, how many days do you have to sit in jail before you appear in front of a judge? And does everydays count? or just business days?

    I was a PO for 7 years. Court dates are assigned based on the docket availability of the judge handling the case, not the attorneys involved. Its hard to tell, in my state it usually took about a month, but I live in a high crime area. There should be a bond review hearing before the VOP though.
