In a criminal case, what are the chance of being sentenced at the PreTrial Conference?

Question

What happens at a pretrial conference? Can they sentence you or is that not what [this] court hearing is for?

This hearing is about an 18 yr old boy who is being charged with one count of running from the cops and one count of aggravated assualt in which this count he is not guilty for. He was released on bond for 5,000, got a job, is back completing high school, and taking care of a newborn baby.

No smart @$$ answers PLEASE!

Answer 1

Nobody gets sentenced at a pre-trial because it doesn't take place in Court.
