One of the biggest benefits of the preliminary hearing is the opportunity for the accused individual to present an affirmative defense. For example, if you are facing charges for marijuana possession, your attorney may argue that you were using medical marijuana.
If you are facing assault charges, your lawyer may present evidence that you were acting in self defense. If you were arrested on suspicion of prescription drug charges, is there evidence that shows the police officer made an improper traffic stop?
Any of this evidence could be used to show that there is not enough probable cause to believe that a crime was committed. Additionally, the evidence could be used to lower the charges you are facing.
