What is the name of your state? CA
Hello,
I posted here before about my child's father being arrested & charged w/ posession of a narcotic substance. anyway, he was bailed out by his mommy/daddy after about 2 weeks in jail, had a court date where I thought that's when he'd be sentenced. according to his mother the lawyer said that he'd most likely get 2 yrs., but after contacting the courts to get an update they said that he had a preliminary hearing next month. they informed that's where they'll hear both sides to see if there is enough evidence to go to trial, which totally surprised me b/c i thought the case was cut & dry after the arrest. can someone give me some insight as to what will most likey happen & what does all of this mean, going to trial and everything?? i'm not in contact w/ my child's father & recently stopped w/ his mother, so i don't know all the details.
thanks
