New Jersey S2530 amends the state's criminal justice reform law 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 applies when the court finds probable cause that the defendant committed the crime. If the presumption is not rebutted, the court may order pretrial detention. The bill also outlines procedures for pretrial detention hearings, including the right to counsel and the right to appeal.
