I came across an interesting study concerning pretrial detention and its impacts on outcomes in criminal cases. Consistent with my experience, clients released pending trial receive sentences substantially less than those who are detained. I have always believed that aggressive representation and preparation through investigation are vital to succeeding in winning detention hearings. The paper with all of the detail can be found at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2809818.
