New Jersey A5189 eliminates the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with contempt of a domestic violence restraining order.
New Jersey A5189 amends the state's criminal justice reform law to eliminate the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with contempt of a domestic violence restraining order. The bill adds contempt of a domestic violence restraining order to the list of crimes for which the presumption of pretrial release does not apply. If a defendant is already on pretrial release and is found to have committed contempt of a domestic violence restraining order, the defendant must demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, why pretrial release should not be revoked.
