1. ““This rule was found consistent with the constitutional guarantee to a preliminary examination in State v. Graninger, 96 Ariz. 172 , 393 P.2d 266 (1964); We stated in the Graninger case. that the constitutional provision referring to preliminary hearing is for the benefit of the defendant and he may waive it. The waiver may be expressed by the defendant or implied, and Rule 79 is one instance of waiver by implication. “The motion and affidavit, in the instant case, was made after defendant’s plea on the merits and beyond the ten days for further pleas and motions as permitted by the trial court. Therefore, 'the information was rendered immune from any attack on the grounds of failure to hold a preliminary examination and defendant conclusively waived his right to have the hearing.” 99 Ariz. at 251 , 408 P.2d at 217 .”
