About 8 max, but it is better to take a bargain if the accused makes it to 5 preliminary hearings. His/her chances of getting charged guilty after this is high; especially with felony charges. After this amount of time, the prosecutor has plenty of ammo -so to speak- to take the defendant down. Not to mention the tax dollars being wasted; the defendant's lawyer would also be buying time to pocket more money from the defendant!
