A vote on bail reform is scheduled to take place in the Assembly Thursday
Under current law, defendants can await trial at home unless law enforcement can prove they pose a risk. But under the new bill, defendants charged with certain gun crimes could automatically be detained pre-trial. Advocates oppose the measure saying it would increase racial disparities already existing in NJ. Sen. Joseph Cryan, the sponsor, has withdrawn the amended bill for further discussion.
