Understanding Your Journey After a Felony Charge
Have you been charged with a felony and you’re wondering what happens after the prelim stage? Hi, my name is Aaron Grubb. I’m the Tahlequah attorney for Wirth Law Group, and in this video, we’re going to talk about what happens right after the preliminary hearing.
So I just completed one of these yesterday with a client who was facing multiple different felonies. After the prelim stage, we filed a motion to quash, which is an important step in the process.
Filing a Motion to Quash
At the prelim stage, the state did not fulfill its evidentiary burden. By filing a motion to quash, we aim to achieve one of two outcomes. Either the judge acknowledges that the state did not meet its burden and sends the case back to the preliminary stage for further review.
If the judge does not agree to kick it back, the second benefit of filing this motion is that we preserve the right to appeal. This means that if our client is convicted later on, we can still challenge this evidentiary issue from the prelim stage during the appeal process.
