Is there any case law where a probable cause hearing conducted by the Superior Court of California Probable Cause Officer (PCCO) was conducted as a pro forma interview rather than a fact-finding hearing?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Schenk, 2d Crim. No. B267150 (Cal. App. 2016):
Schenk complains that the probable cause hearing conducted by Meza was "nothing more than a pro forma, ex-parte interview" which was "in effect, an early disposition conference rather than a fact-finding hearing." But these arguments advanced on appeal were not made to the trial court. Arguments not raised below are forfeited. (People v. Hartshorn (2012) 202 Cal.App.4th 1145, 1151.)
