Detention Hearings in New Jersey

All issues regarding bail in criminal cases in New Jersey are addressed under Court Rule 3:26. Subsection 3:26-2(c) of this rule stipulates that the court must review a defendant’s bail no later than one day after it is set, provided that it is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. Further, according to subsection 3:26-2(d), defense council is entitled to file a bail reduction motion which must be heard by a Superior Court Judge in the county in which the case is venued no later than seven days after it is made. Notably, the filing of a bail reduction motion is an entirely different court procedure than the initial bail review.

When the attorney representing a defendant files a bail reduction motion on his or her client’s behalf, the motion is then heard by a judge who will consider the defense’s argument as to why the circumstances of the specific case warrant a reduction in the initial bail amount set by the court. The prosecuting attorney assigned to the case is also entitled to present arguments disputing the defense’s motion at this time. Before making a final determination at a bail reduction hearing, the presiding judge will consider the applicable bail guidelines, the current bail amount, and a variety of other pertinent factors, including:

  • The nature and degree of the charges
  • The defendant’s prior criminal record (if applicable)
  • The defendant’s reputation in the community
  • The defendant’s connections to the community, such as property ownership, familial relationships, employment, etc.
  • The defendant’s likelihood and ability to flee if released on bail

In specific cases in which the prosecution and the defense can reach some agreement as to a lower bail amount, the judge will generally consent to the imposition of this reduced amount.
