Notes of Decisions

Under Oregon Constitu­tion, per­son may be charged with felony either by grand jury indict­ment or by district attorney in­for­ma­­tion after showing of probable cause at preliminary hearing, and it is within district attorney's discre­tion to decide which pro­ce­dure to use so long as exercise thereof complies with Equality of Privileges Clause of Oregon Constitu­tion. State v. Eells, 72 Or App 492, 696 P2d 564 (1985), Sup Ct review denied

Where defendant is initially charged by in­for­ma­­tion, but later indicted, defendant does not retain right to preliminary hearing unless use of indict­ment was for improper purpose. State v. Marsh, 132 Or App 416, 888 P2d 580 (1995)
