What does a judge looking for during a preliminary hearing in Oklahoma? If you have questions about preliminary hearings or prelims, as we call them, then check out my other video kind of explaining what they are, going into a little bit of detail there.
This video though is going to explain what the judge is looking for. So a judge is looking to make sure they have jurisdiction, meaning that this happened in their county. This is a type of, it’s a criminal offense that this all falls within the scope of their power.
It also deals with the venue, which is more of the county issue there. It also looks at the elements of the crime. So whatever crime is alleged, there is a breakdown of elements. Meaning there are certain things that the state has to prove to prove you are guilty of that crime.
