== Probable cause hearings == {{See also|Evidentiary hearing}} In the various states, a '''probable cause hearing''' is the preliminary [[Hearing (law)|hearing]] typically taking place before [[arraignment]] and before a serious crime goes to [[Trial (law)|trial]]. The [[judge]] is presented with the basis of the [[prosecution]]'s case, and the [[defendant]] is afforded full right of [[cross-examination]] and the right to be represented by [[Lawyer|legal counsel]]. If the prosecution cannot make a case of probable cause, the court must dismiss the case against the accused.
