State v. Stewart

In re: Rodney Stewart applying for writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus, and habeas corpus. Writ granted. It is ordered that the trial judge hold a preliminary examination pursuant to the original order for that hearing as soon as possible. SUMMERS, J., dissents. In my view the filing of a bill of information establishes probable cause for holding the accused, and the trial judge has discretion to grant or refuse a preliminary hearing.
