What is a Federal Detention Hearing and Why Does it Matter?
Submitted by Friedman Nemece... on
When an individual faces federal criminal charges, it is critical to understand the federal detention hearing process. Federal criminal cases are often very complex and may span months, if not years, before trial or another conclusion is reached. If a defendant is detained pending trial, they will have to reside in a detention facility for the duration of this process. This extended incarceration can have devastating effects on an individual’s life, family, and career before their case is even resolved. This important stage of the case will determine whether the defendant will be held in custody or released while awaiting trial.
