In a video that recently aired on â Through the Wormhole â narrated by Morgan Freeman on the TV channel Science, Dr. Hameroff claims, I believe that consciousness, or its immediate precursor proto-consciousness, has been in the universe all along, perhaps from the Big Bang..
Judges hear a lot more evidence in a permanent custody hearing than in a temporary custody hearing.

At the arraignment the defendant's attorney will be given the criminal complaint with the police report. After the plea is entered, the court schedules a new court date. If the criminal charges are misdemeanors, a pretrial conference date is set usually about 30 days after the arraignment. If the criminal charges are felonies, under California law, a preliminary hearing is scheduled within 10 court days of the arraignment, unless the defendant waives time (right to a speedy preliminary hearing) and the preliminary hearing is set beyond the 10 court days. Bail is addressed at the arraignment.
