The two major kinds of probable cause hearings are: grand juries and preliminary hearings.
Some courts and scholars have suggested probable cause could, in some circumstances, allow for a fact to be established as true to a standard of less than 51%, but as of August 2019, the United States Supreme Court has never ruled that the quantification of probable cause is anything less than 51%.
In a preliminary hearing, a judge needs only to determine whether there is probable cause by a preponderance of the State's evidence or testimony. In layman's terms, this means that a judge believes that there is a 50.01% chance that the defendant was involved in the commission of a crime.

During this hearing, the judge evaluates whether the prosecution has established probable cause. The defense has the opportunity to challenge the evidence and argue that it is not strong enough to support the charges. If the judge finds a lack of probable cause, the charges may be reduced or dismissed.
