“"It is not the function of the magistrate at a preliminary examination to determine the wisdom of the prosecuting attorney's decision to file and pursue the charges against a defendant. Neither is it the function of the magistrate to conclude there should be no prosecution because the possibility of a conviction may be remote or virtually nonexistent. [Citation omitted.]" State v. Bockert, 257 Kan. 488, 492 , 893 P.2d 832 (1995).”
