Another judge decides when you see the judge that will try your case.

No, you can have your attorney file an habeas corpus to either have your case tried speedily or have you be released from jail until the court date.

Just because you don't know how the law works doesn't mean others haven't thought about these challenges before and solved them. Ignorance doesn't make your arguments stronger.

That is unless the individual is considered a flight risk from Brazil.

Although normally even if you are considered a flight risk you often just have to turn in your passport and wait for your trial at home, IIRC

Okay serious flight risk, or whatever threshold it is in Brazil.
