Federal Preliminary Hearing Lawyers
Federal Pre-Trial Procedures
A preliminary hearing is held to determine whether there is probable cause to believe a federal crime was committed and the defendant committed it. This hearing occurs if no indictment has been returned.
Key Aspects
A federal defense attorney can use the preliminary hearing to challenge the government's evidence early.
- Government presents evidence of probable cause
- Defense can cross-examine witnesses
- Lower burden of proof than trial
- Must occur within specific time limits
