What is a preliminary hearing in Oklahoma? If you’ve been charged with a felony, at least in the state system, then you’re entitled to, what’s called a preliminary hearing.
Now a preliminary hearing comes in the middle of your case. It’s somewhere between arraignment and trial. Now, if you take a plea, you won’t have a preliminary hearing. You can also waive your preliminary hearing meaning, you don’t want one.
Before you do that, I would highly encourage you to talk to legal counsel and not waive your preliminary hearing, unless you are really sure you want to and know what you’re doing.
A lot of times for a plea, the prosecutor will have you waive your preliminary hearing and then plea at the next court date. That’s pretty common, but before you waive it, talk to an attorney.
