[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what’s the point in people going to the prelim? Do they lay out any evidence there?  [/quote]

The state will present evidence that is sufficient for AP to be required to stand trial. That is why a prelim happens fairly quickly. It will be reported on in the media, WP and several tv outlets have covered the case, assume outlets like DM will dip in here and there.

People are curious and want the infiltered information and to get the vibe that does not come across in the newspaper, perhaps. Courts are open to the public, no reason not to attend, schedule permitting.

[quote]What Is a Preliminary Hearing?
At a preliminary hearing, a judge hears the state's evidence and decides whether there is sufficient evidence to require the defendant to stand trial. The defense is not required to present evidence but may choose to do so to rebut the allegations against the defendant. If the evidence is not sufficient to establish probable cause, the judge must dismiss the charges. The purpose of a preliminary hearing is to protect the accused from unfounded criminal charges.[/quote]
