Allow a Court to Order Pretrial Detention

November 4, 2014 New Jersey General Election
Description:

Constitutional Amendment to Allow a Court to Order Pretrial Detention of a Person In a Criminal Case.

Do you approve amending the Constitution to allow a court to order pretrial detention of a person in a criminal case? This would change the current constitutional right to bail. The change to the Constitution would mean that a court could order that a person remain in jail prior to trial, even without a chance for the person to post bail, in some situations. The amendment also removes language in the Constitution about bail eligibility for death penalty cases. The death penalty no longer exists in New Jersey.
