Detention Hearings in Federal Court

I like to post helpful information on this blog for those who have been accused of a crime. I usually post about an event that happened that day. I hope to write more substantive in the future. Until then , we will discuss detention hearings in federal court. When one is charged for a Federal crime , a detention hearing will be held to determine if a citizen accused of a crime shall be released from custody pending trial. There are two reasons for detention . first , the Government may allege that the accused is dangerous. Secondly, the Government may allege that the accused may flee.
