   Strange,  I was jus' quoting you.  And each time you reply, your anger   
   is palpable.

    You as an American obviously know more about how Canadian   
   crimiinal law works, so you jus' keep on tellin' us.   
      
   Keep your eye on reports of what happens as the cases work their way   
   through our courts, and we'll all be informed.   
      
   Preliminary hearings "might" happen:   
      
      
      
   "Preliminary inquiry (also called preliminary hearing)   
      
   For serious indictable offences, the accused or the prosecution may   
   request that a preliminary inquiry be held before the trial. The   
   purpose of the preliminary inquiry is to determine whether there is   
   sufficient evidence for the accused to stand trial.   
      
   The party requesting a preliminary inquiry must produce a statement   
   setting out the issues on which it wants evidence to be given and the   
   witnesses it wants to hear. A preparatory hearing may also be held to   
   determine the content and the conduct of the preliminary inquiry.   
      
   With the consent of the prosecutor, an accused may waive a preliminary   
   inquiry, even after it has commenced.   
      
   The prosecutor presents the prosecution's main evidence. The accused   
   may cross-examine the witnesses called by the prosecution and call his   
   or her own witnesses. If the evidence is insufficient, the judge will   
   discharge the accused. If there is sufficient evidence, the judge will   
   order the accused to stand trial."   
      
   "We" don't know... so watch what happens on 11 Sept.. that's the next   
   stage of the procedure.   
      
   Not very Merkin, but, hey, c'est le Canada.   
      
   Idiot.
