New Jersey S2240 establishes a rebuttable presumption for pretrial detention for those charged with aggravated assault by strangling a domestic.

New Jersey S2240 amends the state's criminal justice laws to establish a rebuttable presumption that a person charged with aggravated assault by strangling a domestic violence victim should be detained prior to trial. This presumption may be rebutted by the defendant, and if not rebutted, the court may order pretrial detention. The bill extends the presumption of detention to aggravated assault cases involving strangling of a domestic violence victim, aligning it with the existing presumption for more severe crimes.
