Re: hearing on motion to supress evidence

Evidence, by testifmony or transcript of the preliminary hearing, is presented and the court determines whether the actions of the police violated the constitutional right against unreasonable search and siezure.

Thank you for your posting.

Typically, a written brief is presented. Portions of the police report, or preliminary hearing transcripts, are also submitted, and after the judge has read the law, the brief submitted, and the opposition from the prosecution (if any), the court will hear oral argument on the law or issues involved.

I hope that this information helps, but if you have additional questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I�m happy to help in any way that I can.
