Information For Prosecution
Prosecutors’ decisions and recommendations to the court have significant influence over the course of a case and the delivery of pretrial justice.
| Prosecutorial decisions in the pretrial phase include whether and how to charge a person, whether to refer them to a diversion program, and what to request from the court about a person’s release before trial. Prosecutors’ recommendations about conditions of release, including the use of money bond, or petitions for detention play a significant role in determining whether someone remains in jail before trial. Therefore, prosecutors are key partners in achieving a just pretrial system. |
