New Jersey S3842 eliminates the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses.
New Jersey S3842 amends the state's criminal justice reform law to eliminate the presumption of pretrial release for defendants charged with repeat home invasion offenses. Specifically, the presumption of pretrial release would not apply to a defendant who was previously convicted, on one or more prior and separate occasions, of home invasion or burglary of a residence. The court may still order pretrial release with non-monetary conditions to ensure the defendant's appearance in court, the safety of others, and the integrity of the criminal justice process. The bill takes effect immediately.
