Published FAQ answer: What is a preliminary hearing? A preliminary hearing is a hearing held in the District Court that determines if probable cause exists to charge you with a crime. You are not allowed to testify or offer evidence at this hearing. You do have the right to hear the evidence against you and to cross examine the state's witness. If the court finds no probable cause, charges may be dismissed. (The state's attorney may refile charges later.) You have a right to a preliminary hearing if you are charged with a felony or crime which must be tried in circuit court and you have not been indicted by the grand jury. You must request one within ten (10) days of your first appearance before the commissioner. If you waive your preliminary hearing, or if it is held and the court finds there is sufficient probable cause, the state's attorney must: • file a charging document in the circuit court within thirty (30) days; • enter a nol pros (unwilling to proceed) or stet (a stay of proceedings) in the District Court; or • amend the charges so that they can be tried in the District Court.
