: Is anyone familiar with the term "reading" from such sentence-We waive reading of ridicious charges.
: Thank you from my heart.
It is quite literal.
When someone is arrested they are put in a holding pen until the next day when they are officially charged with the crime.
Appearing before a judge, the defendant can request that the details of the crime NOT be read aloud in the courtroom before nosy onlookers and newspaper people.
