Answer to Question 1

Petit (or trial) juries are for the purpose of determining guilt or innocence, and in
some states determine punishment. Grand juries are for the purpose of returning
indictments or conducting investigations of reported criminality. They differ in size
and in how members are selected. Petit juries are created for one case, where
grand juries may serve for a month or longer.

Answer to Question 2

The three main purposes for which preliminary hearings are usually held are:
determination of probable cause, discovery, and decision on binding over.
Determination of probable cause is the primary purpose. It keeps unsupported
charges of grave offenses from coming to trial and thereby protects people from
harassment, needless expenditure, and damage to their reputations.
