ACCUSATORY INSTRUMENTS - Waiver of preliminary hearing
Defective preliminary hearing does not deprive the trial court of jurisdiction. Court of Appeals reversed.
Whether defendant had validly waived the right to a preliminary hearing and whether to review that ruling as plain error was for the Court of Appeals to decide in the first instance.
