Preliminary Hearing

Preliminary Hearing

Every defendant charged with a felony has the right to a Preliminary Hearing. A preliminary hearing is held to determine whether the defendant should face trial on the charges alleged in the complaint. At the hearing, the prosecutor presents a magistrate with evidence that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that the accused individual has committed the crime. The Judge can find probable cause and order the defendant to stand trial, or dismiss the case based on a lack of probable cause.

Per 16A A.R.S. Rules Crim. Proc., Rule 5.1, a preliminary hearing must be held before a magistrate no later than 10 days after the defendant's Initial Appearance if the defendant is in custody, or no later than 20 days after the defendant's Initial Appearance if the defendant is not in custody, unless:
(1) the complaint is dismissed;
(2) the hearing is waived;
(3) the defendant has been transferred from the juvenile court for criminal prosecution on specified charges;
(4) the magistrate orders the hearing continued; or
(5) the court made a probable cause finding at a bail eligibility hearing under Rule 7.2(b)(4).

Go to Court Before Posting Bail

NOBODY WANTS TO BE IN JAIL

Phoenix Bail Bonds realizes that no one wants to be in jail, but sometimes exercising a little patience will pay off in a big way. Once you get arrested, it's smart to go to your Initial Appearance before bailing out of jail. State law requires everyone to be taken before a magistrate within 24 hours - so you won't have long to wait. At the Initial Appearance, you will be informed of your Charges, your Conditions of Release, and when your next scheduled hearing will be. This is also when bail is set and in many cases you may be released on your own recognizance and won't have to post bail - this could save you a lot of money. If you bail out before your Initial Appearance, you will have 10 days to schedule a hearing with the court of jurisdiction. If you fail to do this, a warrant will be issued for your arrest and whatever bond or bail that was posted on your behalf will be forfeited.
