"Held to state probable cause" in a court of law means that a judge has determined there is sufficient evidence or reasonable grounds to believe that a crime may have been committed and that the defendant may be involved. This standard is typically applied during preliminary hearings or bail hearings, where the court assesses whether the evidence justifies further legal proceedings. It does not determine guilt or innocence but serves as a threshold for moving forward in the judicial process.
