Will I have to remain in custody until my trial? With the New Jersey criminal case process, you may have to remain in custody until your trial. It depends on what the judge decides in regards to your pre-trial detention. And the nature of your charges has an impact on this decision, too. If you’re charged with an indictable offense—which is equivalent to a felony—you can be held for up to 48 hours following your arrest and booking. During this time, the prosecution collects background info on you and schedules a hearing with a judge. During this hearing, the judge considers several factors about you and your case. They can release you until your trial, release you with additional conditions, or choose to keep you in custody until your trial. If you’re charged with a disorderly persons offense—which is like a misdemeanor—you’re usually only in custody until the booking process is complete. https://lnkd.in/gWYDDt_B
