Why is it that every attorney working a case tries to avoid a preliminary hearing yet every lawyer online and on KZfaq tells you never to waive your preliminary hearing?

Zuliette Arencibia I actually went to my preliminary hearing after writing my comment and I’m sure it did me more justice then not going. The cop lied n wasn’t prepared for my questions and it was questions I’m sure a lawyer would have not ask but I messed that cop up so bad now I’m just waiting for my discovery and it’s been since February I’m waiting but I’m sure that’s the missing link to show everything the cop says is contradicting.. I’ll keep ya update if wanted..

So if the police officer is literally asked if he read the defendant their miranda rights and they testify they did not, is that really going to make a difference because my understanding is that police officers no longer have to read the defendent their miranda rights during/before/after arrest

Very interesting. On the other hand, why some people do decide to waive their right to a preliminary hearing, despite the reasons why you explain they should not? Is there any advantage?

Can you Un-waive your preliminary hearing if you’ve already waived it? I originally waived mine after being deceived by my public defender. He has now gotten off my case. By him withdrawing, could I still get it back?

@CopoulosFirm 4 жыл бұрын

No. But you still have a right to a trial where the government must prove the elements against you beyond a reasonable doubt.

@Nalashwini 2 жыл бұрын

Does the defense get to explain their side during the preliminary hearing? For example, if a person is accused of stealing and there is evidence against them, however that person is mentally ill, is the defense granted to share that kind of information at the preliminary hearing?

@CopoulosFirm 2 жыл бұрын

The Defense may call witnesses but often does not present evidence unless it will rebut a prima facie case that a crime was committed.

@@CopoulosFirmThank you for responding! Can the defense be a family member at a preliminary hearing? Like could their son or daughter call witnesses on their parents behalf? Can a family member cross examination the witnesses of the prosecution?

explain WHY the prosecution NEVER has to produce tangible, factual, irrefutable evidence that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, the prosecutions has jurisdiction, verified by a third party with firsthand knowledge, into evidence in, on and for the record! wouldn't the complete lack of anything being put into the record, violate due process?
