In tonight's episode of Perry Mason at the preliminary hearing
someone confesses. Perry says, See? And Berger says, "No, he
didn't do it" meaning that the defendant did. "You know how much
effort we put in before an indictment."
This implies there was both an indictment and a preliminary
hearing. I don't know of the poster from California is still
here, but didn't he say it was one or the other?
And yet I know Perry Mason cannot be wrong. A dilemma.

Perry Mason was in Los Angeles. The purpose of a preliminary hearing
is where the defendant is asked to plead guilty or not. An indictment
is differente, and can be returned by a grand jury, or the DA can get
one without the grand jury by filing an "information."
