More info at http://www.shouselaw.com/preliminary-... 888-327-4652 Preliminary hearings in California criminal cases, explained by defense attorney Michael Scafiddi. • • In California, after a prosecutor files a felony complaint with the court, California criminal law requires the judge to hold a preliminary hearing (oftentimes referred to as a prelim or probable cause hearing). Witnesses testify, and the defense lawyer has an opportunity to cross-examine them. • • The purpose of the preliminary hearing is to determine if there is enough evidence to justify holding the defendant to answer for the alleged charge(s), which includes any misdemeanors that are charged along with the felonies. • • It's our job to try to convince the judge that there is not. And as a criminal defense law firm comprised of former prosecutors and cops, we know the most effective ways to do this.
