What is a reasonable time for a preliminary hearing to be heard in a simple felony sales case?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
It depends on the complexity of the case. There is no such thing as a "simple felony sales case". All cases need to be investigated by your attorney. Statutorily, a preliminary hearing is held within 10 days of your arraignment. However, this 10 day period can be waived and most clients will waive this period in order to give their attorneys time to prepare for the hearing. I am assuming that you have an attorney representing you. You should be asking this question to your attorney.

What does dismissed and furtherance of justice mean?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
"Dismissed" means just that. The case was dismissed and there is no conviction. "In Furtherance of Justice" could mean a lot of different things, such as the prosecution decided that they did not have enough evidence to get a conviction. They were unable to locate a witness or witnesses. They were unable to subpoena a witness in time for trial. Your husband was innocent. Etc. The bottom line is that the case was dismissed, there was no conviction and it should not affect him in the future.
