The Preliminary hearing is a trial before the trial, a mini-trial and the person being accused of a crime, the defendant, has the right to a lawyer. The trial will happen only if the judge arrives to the conclusion that a crime was really committed by the defendant. Until then he can be under the right of the Presumption of Innocence.
According to the Supreme Court, in the preventive release hearings the accused enjoys the right to be out of jail, while his case is pending. A bond is a contract in which a defendant pays to get out of jail.
In preventite release hearings, they focus more on the general conditions of bail to ensure certain objectives while the defendant is on bail. These pretrial objectives may include protecting the community from the crime, ensuring the safety of the victim and ensuring the appearance of the accused at later dates in court.
The success or lack of success of a defendant can influence the decision of a judge later during the sentence.
