Kentucky Order Scheduling a Detention Hearing is a court order issued by a judge in the state of Kentucky that requires a juvenile to appear in court for a detention hearing. This hearing is held to determine whether the juvenile should be detained in a secure facility, such as a juvenile detention center, until their trial date. The detention hearing is usually held within 48 hours of the initial court appearance. The court may consider factors such as the juvenile’s prior criminal history, the severity of the alleged offense, and the likelihood of the juvenile appearing for their trial. There are three types of Kentucky Order Scheduling a Detention Hearing: an Initial Detention Hearing, an Adjudicatory Hearing, and a Dispositional Hearing. An Initial Detention Hearing is held to determine whether the juvenile should be detained in a secure facility until their trial. An Adjudicatory Hearing is held to determine whether the juvenile is responsible for the offense they are accused of. A Dispositional Hearing is held to determine the appropriate course of action for the juvenile, such as probation, restitution, or placement in a secure facility.
