Never said it did. But one of the kids brings it up. He was right, charges could have been dropped.
Lots of lawyers seem to think its possible especially if the evidence is garbage. Google is your friend.
Evidence is not presented at an arraignment.
Pretty sure you aren't remembering that dialogue correctly, either.
Stan tells Vinny that he could have motioned to have the charges tossed out.
Possible, potentially. As noted, though, it's a rarity. Effectively "Not Guilty" rulings are very rarely reached at the time of arraignment, even if the evidence is garbage. Trying to use charges not being dropped during the arraignment as if it meant much of anything at all is garbage evidence itself.
What's your point? I get that an arraignment is the official presentation of the charges. And it is where an initial bail is usually determined. It is not the usual setting for any examination of evidence. I grant that. That said, a judge has the discretion and authority to do a precursorary examination for probable cause. I'm not arguing the Garcia case. But to say that a lawyer can't object to the charges because probable cause was not presented is not correct.

As I said the DoJ refutes your claim.They absolutely can. But that doesn't mean the judge is going to listen to them. And chance are they won't. A judge, like a police officer has a lot of discretionary authority. An arraignment is a formal presentation of the charges. But charges must be based on probable cause. I've watched more than a few YouTube videos where judges have dismissed cases during arraignment. But the reality is that happens very rarely.

At the arraignment there is no evidence to be presented that is not what it is for.
As noted before by that poster, it doesn't. It describes what an arraignment is, not whether the Judge may choose to do a little more during that event in practice. An example of a Judge actually doing so and an overall reason why was given - the quick and easily presentable evidence very clearly contradicted the single charge and the Judge wasn't particularly interested in wasting their time further when they already had a huge workload at hand. Now, to apply that overall concept here, Garcia's case involves multiple charges and is very much in the public eye, both of which make it a very unlikely candidate for the already highly unlikely event of a Judge doing that little bit more during this particular part of the process.
Evidence is not presented at an arraignment hearing. At the next stage - a preliminary hearing is the first time evidence will be put before a judge.
Just can't give this one up, can you? Your argument is beginning to sound like that of a bigfooter: the hero had fake feet in his closet and made up stories for years, but this time he really saw one!
Oh yes, My Cousin Vinny, the award-winning court proceedings documentary. Someone's starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for ways to continue to get attention.
Let's not forget that she doesn't know the meaning of habeas corpus, even though that concept is at the heart of several major court cases challenging the legality of her department's actions.
