According to news reports, prosecutors have said they plan to call as many as 20-30 witnesses for testimony that will last at least two weeks. THIS IS NOT THE TRIAL.
TO CLARIFY FOR EVERYONE, HERE IS THE DEFINITION OF A "PRELIMINARY HEARING" IN CALIFORNIA -
"The preliminary hearing is held to determine if a crime has been committed and if there is sufficient cause to believe the defendant committed the crime."
“It is a "mini-trial," where prosecutors present witness testimony establishing a crime was committed, and how the defendant (Murray) is responsible."
“At the conclusion of the Preliminary Hearing, the Judge will determine whether or not there is sufficient evidence or probable cause to support the charges against a defendant (Murray) and bind the case over to Superior Court for trial.”
IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT DURING THE PRELIMINARY HEARING, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY OR THE JUDGE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL CHARGES AND/OR READJUST THE BAIL!!!
The following is “copied and pasted” directly from a Beverly Hills, California Attorney’s Web Site: “During the Preliminary Hearing, the District Attorney or the Judge can add additional charges and/or readjust the bail.”
Based on this understanding, it seems to me that this is a VERY CRITICAL TIME to make our voices heard as to what charges we feel are appropriate for Conrad Murray.
