Re: what s a prelimanary hearing
A preliminary hearing is held to determine if probable cause exists to go forward with the case. At the hearing, the attorney may ask questions of the witnesses involved. A preliminary hearing does not decide whether you are guilty or not guilty but rather whether or not the case should go to trial.
