In what two ways are preliminary hearings similar to criminal trials and in what two ways do preliminary hearings differ from criminal trials?
Preliminary hearings are similar to criminal trials in that they both involve presentation of evidence and arguments to a judge. Also, both proceedings allow for cross-examination of witnesses. However, preliminary hearings differ from criminal trials as the former is meant to establish if there is sufficient evidence for a trial, while the latter determines guilt or innocence. Additionally, preliminary hearings have a lower standard of proof, typically probable cause, compared to the higher standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal trials.

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!
