A more thorough explanation: A preliminary trial, also known as a preliminary hearing or preliminary examination, is a legal proceeding held before a judge to determine whether there is enough evidence to proceed to a full trial. During a preliminary trial, the prosecution presents evidence to show that there is probable cause to believe that the defendant committed the crime. If the judge finds that there is sufficient evidence, the case will proceed to trial. If not, the charges may be dismissed.
