1. pretrial

   A pretrial is a legal procedure that takes place before a trial begins. During a pretrial, the judge, prosecution, and defense meet to discuss the case, clarify legal issues, determine the evidence and witnesses to be presented, and potentially negotiate a settlement or plea bargain. This phase may also involve hearings on various motions such as to suppress evidence or to dismiss the charges. The purpose of a pretrial is to streamline the trial process, address any legal issues, and avoid unnecessary delays once the trial starts.

Examples of pretrial in a Sentence

1. Jonathan Hatami:

   The author is basically saying every defendant should be released pretrial no matter the underlying charge, no matter any public safety concerns because all defendants are innocent until proven guilty, focusing exclusively on the criminal and completely excluding public safety and the victim leads to horrible consequences, like the murder of Brianna [Kupfer]. We have also seen the results of ‘cite and release’ all over California with massive smash-and- grabs and train thefts and robberies. So always citing out a person who commits an assault, which is many times violent, is dangerous and against public safety.

2. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan:

   The fact is, this is a pretrial facility where people have not been convicted of a crime but are forced to live in inhumane conditions.

3. Robert Dunham:

   Many of the pretrial proceedings took place under seal and some of the sidebars were under seal, we will not know until those transcripts are unsealed what other issues may be present in the case.

4. Wanda Bertram:

   We need pretrial detention reform, parole reform, and free healthcare so that people having drug crises and mental health crises can stay out of jail. We need these things all across the country, not just for some people, but for everyone.

5. Eva Longoria:

   Huffman's lawyers argued that the sentencing guidelines in those cases were much higher and reserved for the mastermind of schemes, not mere participants. Prosecutors, meanwhile, had argued that universities and testing companies were the victims of the schemes, and the amount that parents paid should correspond to the penalties' severity.But US Probation and Pretrial Services, which prepares pre-sentence investigation reports for each defendant, has argued overall, that the universities and testing companies suffered no monetary harm, and the price of the parents' bribes is therefore not relevant to any sentences. Actress Felicity Huffman loved ones wrote letters of support to the judgeMacy and other loved ones submitted letters to Judge Indira Talwani on Huffman's behalf, pleading for leniency. Each letter outlined Huffman's loyalty and commitment to the writer — an attempt to show Actress Felicity Huffman role in the admissions scam was an outlier in Actress Felicity Huffman life. Macy also shed some light on the immediate aftermath of Huffman's early morning arrest by the FBI in March.Two days after the arrest, Macy wrote, their eldest daughter was headed for an audition at a school she had her heart set on — one that didn't require SAT scores. But when Actress Felicity Huffman got off the plane, the school emailed Actress Felicity Huffman, formally rescinding its audition invitation because of the scandal.
