There is no probable cause hearing in NC anyway.

Color them clueless.

If an arrest is made via a complaint, doesn't an arraignment follow down there? And can't the defense present its side at the arraignment? And wouldn't the standard be probable cause?

That would amount to the same thing as a preliminary hearing. No preliminary hearings, no speedy trial rights ... I'm learning some amazing things about criminal law in NC. It really is stacked in favor of the prosecution.

We've been fed a line of cr** for days...The Nail/tissue being the BOMBSHELL EVIDENCE for the last few days. It won't change until the Defense attorneys step before the judge and request all charges to be dismissed. NiFong will "USE" the judge just like he did for the indictment.

Then the defense attorneys will file a complaint against NiFong.

Maybe we should be looking at the judge!!
