Preliminary hearings are similar to criminal trials in that they both involve presentation of evidence and arguments to a judge. Also, both proceedings allow for cross-examination of witnesses. However, preliminary hearings differ from criminal trials as the former is meant to establish if there is sufficient evidence for a trial, while the latter determines guilt or innocence. Additionally, preliminary hearings have a lower standard of proof, typically probable cause, compared to the higher standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt in criminal trials.

Primarily in civil case, but it is not totally unknown for depositions to be used in criminal cases as well. However, the restriction on their use in criminal cases is more severe inasmuch as the accused (and the state) have the right to be faced in person, and cross-examine, all witnesses in the case.Depositions are sworn statements (i.e.: given under oath) and those who lie or make false statements while giving them can be charged with perjury.
A crime is a criminal act committed with a criminal intent.
