Pretrials are court dates in which the prosecution and defense file motions, deal with discovery issues, and set trial dates. Often prosecutors make plea bargain offers at pretrials. This means the prosecutor agrees to allow the defendant to plead guilty to certain charges, often reduced charges, to spare the state the expense of a trial. The defense can make a motion to dismiss the case, but that would not normally involve bringing witnesses in.

====================================

My response:

Calatty is correct. And, this is usually the time when ultra liberal "Calatty" asks the prosecutor (someone like "NorthDA") to reduce her client's charges from "child molestation" down to "jay-walking."

Calatty usually gets laughed out of the courthouse when she does this, but she feels "Hey, if you don't ask, you don't get." Great mantra.

One of these days, Calatty's head is going to explode and a prize is going to pop out.

What type of prize and would such a prize be similar to those prizes found in a box of Cracker Jacks in the 1960's?
