hearings

The murder-for-hire charges were introduced at the sentencing hearings to counter evidence provided of Ulbricht's good character.

In sentencing hearings, the normal rules of evidence are relaxed, so evidence that was excluded from trial can be considered.

From what was revealed in the parliamentary hearings prompted by Edward Snowden's leaks, they didn't do a very thorough job.

Such hearings might run a few hours or, in a more complex case, possibly a full day as the normative max.

And no trade agreement has ever become law without months of Congressional hearings and debate.

USA Today disclosed it in May 2006, and there were congressional hearings, etc.

At public hearings, I've seen very few representatives from the hospitality industry and far more from tenant groups and apartment associations.

During some hearings, prosecutors place impressively accurate before-and-after models of the scene of the bombing on an enormous table at the center of the room.

I suspect there are vague instructions preferred over hard-and-fast guidelines that can be leaked to the press and quoted in hearings.

Hearings do not follow the strict rules of evidence and are literally recorded on the modern equivalent of what used to be a tape casette instead of by a court reporter.
