Answer:

He will go to an arraignment and formally enter a plea.

Step-by-step explanation:

After receiving an indictment before the court of law, which is a formal accusation against the criminal by stating the crime in question, Julian will have the crimes he's been charged with read before him (Arraignment). Once the judge has finished reading, Julian will be expected to make a plea by claiming his innocence or his guilt.
