Answer:
Missing a preliminary hearing may lead to an arrest warrant, although the outcome depends on the court and the status of the case. Contact an attorney promptly so they can check for a warrant and explore whether it can be lifted.
The consequences of missing a preliminary hearing depend on where the case is pending and what happened in court. Sometimes the government has dismissed the pending case for a future indictment, allowing a grand jury to consider whether probable cause supports a felony charge.
In other situations, the missed hearing may result in an arrest warrant. When a person made a good-faith mistake, an attorney may be able to speak with the prosecutor and court about having the warrant lifted.
Do not ignore a missed court date. There is a real possibility that a warrant has been issued, and checking the case promptly is important. Sabol Mallory can look into the situation and discuss the next steps.
