Details the nature of a preliminary hearing as a public probable cause hearing rather than a trial, expecting the judge to hold the defendant to answer on all charges. We highlight key evidence presented by the prosecution—such as dental records used for identifying the victim, financial records tied to the pecuniary gain circumstance, DNA matched to blood in a Tesla and garage, and disturbing text messages documenting grooming and travel. We also explain the downstream legal proceedings, including how the district attorney's office committee will determine whether to seek the death penalty and how the 60-day speedy trial clock triggers once the case is bound over for trial.
