1 MACOMB COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION The New Preliminary Examination Law MITCHELL FOSTER Milford, Michigan January, 0
2 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS: PERILS (many) AND OPPORTUNITIES (some) IN A NEW ERA By: John A. Shea Ann Arbor, MI Mitchell T. Foster Milford, MI I. History of PE reform in MI A. Annual attempts to limit or outright repeal PEs, (Cropsey/Cox initiatives) B. Snyder identifies reform as criminal justice system priority in 0 C. Workgroup of judges and law enforcement formed in summer 0; HB / results. D. CDAM/SBM input not solicited until November 0, after HB / introduced.. CDAM formed their own workgroup to review/suggest amendments. Some changes were made as a result of CDAM s input. Some further erosions to PEs suggested by PAAM were beaten back E. HB / passes as amended, became EFFECTIVE JANUARY, 0 II. What s New A. Mandatory Probable Cause Conferences. May be waived by agreement of the parties. If PCC waived, parties must advise court whether PE will be held/waived, or plea.
3 . Unless PCC waived, held - days from arraignment on complaint.. If held, subjects for PCC include: plea discussions bond modification stipulations other relevant matters. PE, if to be held, scheduled w/in - days from PCC unless court grants later date for good cause B. District Court may accept felony plea, conduct AOI. If plea tendered, sentencing is by assigned circuit court judge whose identity is disclosed prior to Defendant tendering plea C. Prosecutor may elect to present victim testimony at PCC. DANGER: If district judge believes victim testimony is sufficient, may bind over on that alone. Even absent bindover, victim cannot be recalled at PE absent good cause. D. Video/audio testimony permitted (expanded from prior law). Exceptions: complaining witness, eyewitness, cop taking D statement. Only video recorded testimony may be used later at trial E. Documents hearsay permitted in part (expanded from prior law/rule). Results of properly performed lab tests, certified copies of public records, business records, reports by law enforcement or other public agency except police investigation report, to include arson, ME, and lab reports.. Applies to both sides--defense may introduce as well. If a party seeks to introduce such documents, other side may subpoena and present the author of the document on a satisfactory showing that live testimony will be relevant to the bindover decision.
4 III. Implications for Defense Practice A. Prior to the PCC, counsel must get up to speed quickly --Obtain/review discovery --Meet the client ahead of time --Determine plea negotiation strategy, if any --If a PE needs to be held, identify time needed to prepare for same --Contact prosecutor to determine if victim will testify at PCC B. At the PCC, be prepared to discuss: --Negotiated outcomes, prosecutor theories, etc. This is an opportunity to learn more about the prosecutor s case, and faster. --Missing discovery. --Proposed witnesses to testify remotely; BE PREPARED TO OBJECT WHERE APPROPRIATE, AND TO DISCUSS issues related to how the recording system works, use of exhibits, impeachment problems, etc. --Documents hearsay proposed to be offered; CONSIDER OBJECTING WHERE APPROPRIATE, e.g. where you think the document is not in fact a business record, or the lab test was not properly performed, or the document contains hearsay-within-hearsay. CONSIDER ALSO whether to discuss your intention to have the witness testify live and why. --If the prosecutor proposes to take testimony from the victim at the PCC, BE PREPARED TO OBJECT if you have not had adequate time to prepare, e.g. you will be ineffective if forced to cross-examine the victim while unprepared; ask at least for a continuance (on Sixth Amendment grounds) to cross the victim later. C. At the PE itself. Know the rules about what witnesses may testify by remote; USE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE WHERE YOU CAN.. Ditto the documents hearsay rules.. BE JUDICIOUS in asking to call a hearsay witness live --E.g. in a D/D causing death case, you may need to call the accident reconstruction cop if causation is at issue, but not the ME; or, if you think the
5 accident was unavoidable b/c of some profound impairment of the decedent, vice versa; exercise appropriate discretion if you expect the judge to listen.. OBJECT if inadequate time to prepare or to cross a PE witness, exp. if that witness is a victim called immediately following the PCC --Make record to preserve the trial objection if the witness is unavailable then. D. Adjournments/Continuances. PCC: none contemplated in the statute; be creative.. PE itself: same rules apply as at present. By stip, or for good cause. IV. Making the Appellate Record A. Presenting a Defense. Discovery: object if you don t get all that you have coming. Hearsay witnesses: make the clear record why necessary. Hearsay documents: object if the document doesn t qualify B. Confrontation --No constitutional right to a PE, so, strictly speaking, there s no Constitutional right to cross-examine witnesses, but you still have to press if only to preserve the right to object to introduction of PE testimony at trial. (As noted above, this is esp. important if the APA seeks to put on a victim following the PCC.) --Be creative: even if no A confrontation at PE, think about general public policy underlying effective PEs, and even grounds in the state constitution if applicable. C. Effective assistance of counsel. Adequate time to prepare for the PCC and the PE itself. Adequate resources for appointed counsel given the speed with which counsel must prepare and the additional analyses counsel must make
6 . Adequate opportunity to engage witnesses testifying remotely, esp. for impeachment D. Use interlocutory appeals where necessary, including to COA V. Next Steps for the New System Who knows how future legislators will try and further modify PE procedures. To try and stay ahead of things, CDAM would like to hear from you about issues you are facing in the new system, particularly recurring ones, as well as what you learn from prosecutors and judges about their sentiments.
