Ohhhhhhh now I understand things a little better. Nicodemo has a private attorney. He has THE BEST OF private attorneys. The firm representing him is an amazing defense team. They got Beanie Sigel an acquittal on attempted murder. It is the go to firm for high profile criminal defendants.
His case has also been moved to the Court of Common Pleas (that was the cancel of preliminary hearing to status hearing). My friend is lawyer with Philly Public Defender and the judge that is now assigned on the docket is a Common Pleas judge.
A status hearing is precisely what it sounds like - prosecution and defense update judge on what the status of the case.
