What is an examining trial?

[TexasGator]

“What is an examining trial?”

The examining trial may be requested by the accused if he thinks he has been wrongly accused. It is a mini-trial before a judge only with rules more lax than a real judge. It does not determine guilt but only whether he should be indicted.

Although the accused can request and obtain an examining trial, the prosecutor may make an immediate indictment and the right to an examining trial is then terminated.
