Strange,  I was jus' quoting you.  And each time you reply, your anger
is palpable.

 You as an American obviously know more about how Canadian
crimiinal law works, so you jus' keep on tellin' us.

Keep your eye on reports of what happens as the cases work their way
through our courts, and we'll all be informed.

Preliminary hearings "might" happen:



"Preliminary inquiry (also called preliminary hearing)

For serious indictable offences, the accused or the prosecution may
request that a preliminary inquiry be held before the trial. The
purpose of the preliminary inquiry is to determine whether there is
sufficient evidence for the accused to stand trial.

The party requesting a preliminary inquiry must produce a statement
setting out the issues on which it wants evidence to be given and the
witnesses it wants to hear. A preparatory hearing may also be held to
determine the content and the conduct of the preliminary inquiry.

With the consent of the prosecutor, an accused may waive a preliminary
inquiry, even after it has commenced.

The prosecutor presents the prosecution's main evidence. The accused
may cross-examine the witnesses called by the prosecution and call his
or her own witnesses. If the evidence is insufficient, the judge will
discharge the accused. If there is sufficient evidence, the judge will
order the accused to stand trial."

"We" don't know... so watch what happens on 11 Sept.. that's the next
stage of the procedure.

Not very Merkin, but, hey, c'est le Canada.

Idiot.
