what is a preliminary hearing?

  • Posted on September 18, 2010 at 1:22 pm

my friend has a preliminary hearing tomorrow and her bail is 8500 cash…is there a chance they will lower her bail or just let her go? its for drug possession (oxycontin). she has been there since 4/30. im concerned…please help…oh and she has no priors, not for drugs or felonies. i just wanna know what the chances are that she will be released on PR. does anyone know? im assuming since she has a 4 yr old daughter then maybe they will be lenient? someone help…..
i already talked to someone from the court and she said that as long as she agrees to pre-trial services then they will probably release her…
