A-7-17 - State v. Hassan Travis (080020)

Supreme Court Appeal

Case Details:

Does a policy of the Pretrial Services Program that authorizes a recommendation of “release not recommended” for certain offenses, impermissibly expand the categories of “presumptive detention” offenses enumerated in the Criminal Justice Reform Act, particularly in light of Rule 3:4A(b)(5), which provides that a “court may consider as prima facie evidence sufficient to overcome the presumption of release a recommendation by the Pretrial Services Program” not to release defendant pretrial?
