This hearing was partly sealed because it was dealing with the defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment.

The defendant Brian Coburger had been indicted like just a huge ahead of the preliminary hearing everybody is getting ready for the preliminary hearing we're like it's gonna be a two week preliminary hearing and we're gonna get to see the evidence and the witnesses and

learn things and they were like, here's a grand jury indictment.

I'm legal analyst Emily D Baker.

This is the quick bits where I break down just the main points of the pop culture and entertainment cases

I'm currently covering on YouTube and The Emily Show Podcast.

Let's get into it. So he got indicted. The defense made a motion to overturn the grand jury indictment or to dismiss the grand jury indictment.

If the court had granted that, which they didn't, but if the court had granted that,

then this would have started at the beginning again and they would have either indicted him again

or they would have done a preliminary hearing and it would have just moved forward from there.

So part of the hearing, the morning part of the hearing, the attorneys argued outside the presence of the public, outside the presence of the media,

because things that were discussed, and I imagine outside the presence of any victim's family members as well,

because what was argued there went into the grand jury transcript, the selection process, and things that are generally sealed.

So that hearing was also sealed. Do you remember the motion to dismiss the indictment that was like back when the Magna Carta was written, there was no such thing. It was a very long historical breakdown of why they

believed, the defense believed that the grand jury indictment should actually be a beyond a reasonable doubt standard, not a probable cause standard.

I had argued then, I continue to believe that when you are at the beginning stages of proceeding you have an

incident you have an arrest you have a determination of probable cause is it

more likely that this person that is being held in custody did the thing and

can you try that person for doing the thing and then you go through

the rest of discovery and then you do a jury trial and then you try the thing or the

person please or whatever but you have that initial probable cause determination

because you can't just hold people in
