Centralized arraignment parts for off-hours arraignments are slated to begin in four upstate counties this month, Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks announced Monday.

In an effort to help deliver counsel to indigent defendants, the CAPs will operate evenings and weekends beginning Monday in Broome County and next Monday, Oct. 8, in Oneida County. CAPs in Onondaga and Washington counties are slated to begin later this month, Marks said in a press release.
