A North Dakota Waiver of Detention Hearing is an important legal proceeding that allows a defendant to avoid being detained by law enforcement in certain circumstances. The hearing is held before a judge who will decide whether the defendant should be released on their own recognizance or held in detention until their trial. There are two types of North Dakota Waiver of Detention Hearings: a pre-trial waiver and a post-trial waiver. The pre-trial waiver is held before the defendant's trial, and the judge will consider the defendant's criminal history, the seriousness of the charge, the potential risk to the community, and other factors in determining whether to release the defendant. The post-trial waiver is held after the trial and is based on the same factors, but the judge will also consider the outcome of the trial and any mitigating factors. In both types of hearings, the defendant is allowed to present evidence in their defense.
