Law Enforcement Testimony

At a preliminary hearing the DA typically calls one or two law enforcement officers to testify about probable cause.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

Usually what happens at a preliminary hearing is the DEA will call one or two law enforcement officers and get them to testify as to why they believe that they had probable cause to charge you. And like I said, the rules are much more relaxed in this because the only issue is whether there's probable cause not whether you're guilty. And so a lot of the times they'll say, Well, what did this person say what made you make that decision, and it's a much faster process.
