PRETRIAL DETENTION:
Pretrial Detention is a situation where the State Attorney’s Office has filed a motion for pretrial detention as long as they’ve followed the proper procedure and met their burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
This motion enables them to hold a person in jail with no bond. In other situations, a Judge may decide to hold someone without bond where the safety of the community or the integrity of the judicial system may be in jeopardy.
