Sidie has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse and eight counts of obstructing an officer.
During a preliminary hearing, prosecutors must present enough evidence for a judge to deem there?s ?probable cause? the accused committed a crime, and should be held for trial.
The preliminary hearing was slated to begin at 10 a.m.
