If a person was charged with an indictable offense in Canada they would be entitled to

  1. Be heard by a Judge sitting alone

  2. Be heard by a Judge and Jury

  3. A preliminary hearing

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

In Canada, a person who is charged with an indictable offence has the right to a few different legal procedures. Firstly, they can opt to be heard by a judge sitting alone in a trial. This means that the judge alone will listen to the evidence, determine the facts, apply the law and make a judgement. Secondly, the person charged with an indictable offence has the right to be tried by a Judge and Jury. In this scenario, the judge makes decisions about the law, while the jury are the triers of fact. Thirdly, a person charged with an indictable offence is entitled to a preliminary hearing. The purpose of this hearing is to determine if there is enough evidence to commit the person for trial before a judge or a judge and jury. So in the context of this question, "All of the above" is the correct answer because it covers every right a person charged with an indictable offence in Canada has.
