Thank you.
You have suggested also that judges presiding over preliminary hearings who do not now have the jurisdiction to weigh out the evidence should have that jurisdiction.
I was wondering what the consequences of that would be to the pretrial itself—whether that would lengthen it, whether it would streamline it, whether it would be more amenable to justice in general, and whether such a ruling by a pretrial judge would be applicable to the actual trial. If the pretrial judge says certain evidence is not admissible, would that be binding on the trial judge?
