“Probable cause hearing” may refer to a preliminary hearing that happens well after the filing of charges, at which the court hears testimony in order to determine whether it’s more likely than not that the defendant committed the alleged crimes. If the court finds “probable cause,” then the case may proceed to trial.

Aren't defendants "innocent until proven guilty"?
