Answer

A pre-indictment hearing by definition means no case has been filed against you yet. You will be asked whether you will be able to retain an attorney and you may be given additional conditions of bond while your case is pending. With respect to your drug paraphernalia case, if you entered a plea of guilty or no contest while you were in jail, a conviction was entered, a fine was assessed and you were given credit on the fine by the jail time you served.
