What does waiving probable mean??
Anonymous13 views1 answers
i was told that my boyfriend has a preliminary hearing and that probable cause is being waived... what does that mean? and what does that mean for the person being charged??
In the context in which you are using the phrase, it appears that your BF waived a hearing on whether probable cause existed for his arrest. PC is a very low evidentiary standard and would typically require only that the prosecution establish that there is reason to believe that a crime was committed, and that your BF did it. It means that the charges will continue as charged. Good luck.
