probable-cause hearing

Read a random definition: solatium

A quick definition of probable-cause hearing:

A probable-cause hearing is a type of court hearing where a judge decides if there is enough evidence to believe that a person committed a crime. This hearing usually happens at the beginning of a criminal case. The judge listens to arguments from both sides and may also hear from witnesses. If the judge decides there is enough evidence, the case will continue. If not, the case may be dismissed.

A more thorough explanation:

A probable-cause hearing is a type of preliminary hearing where a judge determines if there is enough evidence to support the charges against a defendant and proceed with a trial. This hearing is usually held shortly after an arrest and before the trial. The purpose of the hearing is to ensure that the defendant's constitutional rights are protected and that there is sufficient evidence to justify the charges.

For example, if a person is arrested for robbery, a probable-cause hearing will be held to determine if there is enough evidence to support the charge of robbery. The prosecution will present evidence, such as witness statements or surveillance footage, to show that the defendant committed the crime. The defense may also present evidence to challenge the prosecution's case.

If the judge finds that there is enough evidence to support the charges, the case will proceed to trial. If not, the charges may be dismissed, and the defendant will be released.

When I get home I think I will pull up a youtube yoga video and lay out the mat by the fireplace now, feeling guilty I haven't been stretching properly

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
