Demand Or Waiver For Transcript Of Preliminary Examination {MC 208}

Form MC 208 - DEMAND/WAIVER FOR TRANSCRIPT OF PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION. This form is used in felony cases in the State of Michigan to either request or waive the preparation of a written transcript of the testimony given during the preliminary examination. This proceeding takes place in district court and determines whether there is probable cause to believe that a felony was committed and that the defendant committed it. The form allows the prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, defendant, or juvenile (in applicable cases) to formally state whether they want a transcript prepared or are waiving that right. If a transcript is demanded, the court may issue an order directing the court reporter or recorder to produce the transcript by a certain date. This transcript becomes part of the official court record and is used during the circuit court proceedings, such as arraignment or trial. The form ensures that all parties, including the circuit and district courts, the attorneys, and the court reporter, are notified and can track the request and completion of the transcript. Approved, SAO. MCL 600.8635, MCL 712A.2d(7), MAR 6.113(D). www.FormsWorkflow.com
