Drug Bust Suspects All Waive Preliminary Hearings
Twenty-seven suspects linked to a massive drug case that started in Tredyffrin appeared in Montgomery County court on Wednesday.
One by one they came in front of District Court Judge William Maruszczak who was presiding in Courtoom 6 of the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, instead of his usual, and way too small, District Court 38-1-09 courtroom.
Twenty-six of 27 defendants, some representing themselves, some with public defenders, and some with high profile, high priced defense lawyers, all agreed to waive their right to a preliminary hearing on the charges against them. (One defendant, who also waived a preliminary hearing, did not appear in the courtroom).
