Arraignment calendar: multiple bench-warrant forfeitures, plea changes and PTI resets at Clayton County State Court
Summary
At the Feb. 13, 2025, 1 p.m. arraignment calendar, Judge Tammy Long Hayward granted several bench-warrant bond forfeitures, accepted pleas in some cases, reset others for pretrial intervention (PTI) and rescheduled a hearing that required a Spanish interpreter.
Judge Tammy Long Hayward opened the Feb. 13, 2025, 1 p.m. arraignment calendar in Clayton County State Court with a routine explanation of defendants’ rights and potential penalties, then moved through a slate of case-by-case procedural outcomes.
The court granted multiple bench-warrant bond forfeitures, accepted some pleas and reset several defendants for additional review or PTI enrollment. The calendar also included a nol pros (no prosecution) entry, a waiver, and rescheduling when an interpreter was not available.
Why it matters: Arraignment calendars set case status, deadlines and conditions that determine whether defendants remain in custody, enter diversion programs or proceed to trial. The court’s decisions on bond forfeiture, plea acceptance and PTI eligibility change immediate custody and case-processing outcomes for defendants and can affect local jail population and court schedules.
