commonwealth what is it?

Question

if your going to commonwealth court what does that mean after a preliminary hearing

Answer 1

I am going to tell you one more time... As it is obvious that you have not understood it in your last 20 post with several different profiles of this same question:

They can collect physical evidence and run DNA samples. That is the BEST evidence in the world! One tiny hair and the perp goes to prison!

If no physical evidence is located, than her victim statement is going to be very powerful. A suspect would be interviewed and asked to take a polygraph. If they refuse? Wow... that sends a very powerful message to the jury. A victims account and positive ID of the attacker is very damning.

And when a jury looks in the eyes of a 14 year old rape victim, tearfully reliving the horrors of the crime, they see themselves, their daughters and grand daughters.

Convictions are almost always assured. And then its Prison for the defendant.

You know, the other prisoners really HATE child rapist in the joint. They tend to let the perp have a lot of their own medicine.

Are you just trying to find someone as sick and twisted as you to tell you it is going to be alright? Well its not. You are going to go to jail!

STOP SPAMING THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR RAPE CHARGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Commonwealth (in the US) is another word of "state" -- four states call themselves commonwealths.

A preliminary hearing is what it sounds like -- it is a hearing that takes place early in the process, and resolves some initial questions before matters can proceed further.

After the preliminary hearing -- what happens usually depends on the outcome of the preliminary hearing.
