You only have 1 preliminary hearing in which a trial is set with 20 days for court case, 10 days if it is a felony. Evidence at preliminary hearing is only presented once according to your law. You can appear for setting of trial date numerous times. In my county there is an average of 12-14 month delay for trial
( continuances ).

No limits to pre-trials everywhere. Mine went on approximately each 6 weeks for seven years. a pal of mine went on like that for 9 Years - and final I heard there remains a case that Kunstler replaced into in touch with that still hasn't had something extra desirable than, what would desire to now be nicely over, 30 years of pre-trials.

There is one preliminary hearing. Unfortunately, either the Judge, defense attorney, or D.A. can request an adjournment. Therefore, the Judge in the case is the only one who can say 'enough'. Sorry, but that can take 7 or 8 tries.
