Defendants were charged with manslaughter by an information filed directly in superior court. They made timely motion to dismiss, contending that the information was defective because not found before a grand jury, or alternatively that due process required a determination before either a grand jury or a committing magistrate that probable cause existed to hold the defendants for trial. The motion was granted. On appeal, the Washington Supreme Court reversed. Held: Due process does not require persons charged with an infamous crime to be indicted by a grand jury or afforded a preliminary hearing on the issue of probable cause, State v. Kanistanaux, 68 Wash. Dec. 2d 647, 414 P.2d 784 (1966)
