Is it true that you must be given a preliminary hearing within 60 days of your arrest while being held or charges get dismissed?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
This is a very complicated question to answer, especially without a full understanding of the facts and circumstances. The basic answer is yes, a prelim must be had within 60 days of the filing of the complaint (or arraignment). There is also a 10 day rule. When the prelim is continued (very often) beyond 10 days or 60 days, a time waiver must be taken. Most of the time - especially in a serious case - a general waiver is taken, meaning that the defendant waives both the 10 and 60 day rule. Then, the prelim is/can be set beyond 60 days. Even if the case must be dismissed for exceeding these limits, the DA can simply file it again and the case starts over; it does not mean the case just goes away. As to your discovery question, the law is complex as to the accused's right to discovery before the prelim. The attorneys usually try to work it out informally, but when a motion is filed these issues come before the court. In this situation, a qualified criminal defense attorney is needed.

If she pays the fine, does she still go to court and what are the possible outcomes?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
Criminal Law lawyer at 5280 Law Group
Yes, your daughter must appear at her court date. The letter she got does not dismiss the criminal charges, regardless if she pays it our not. If the shirts were returned in salable condition, she might not owe any criminal restitution to the store. Depending on the facts of the case, she may be eligible for a diversionary program. It would be a good idea to hire a criminal defense attorney in your area.
