Rules of Evidence

Relaxed at a preliminary hearing compared to a jury trial; fewer witnesses required and hearsay allowed.

What Right Law Group attorneys say

They also don't have the same rules of evidence in a preliminary hearing that you do in a jury trial. In other words, you don't have to have a number of witnesses come in for a preliminary hearing. And people can bring in statements that are hearsay statements.
