Jail, Hearing and Release
It is strongly recommended that the accused plead "not guilty" at the initial hearing. This allows him or her to be released from jail and provides time to consult with an attorney of their choice. However, you should know that after the hearing, there will be an automatic restraining order put in place and the accused may not be able to return to his or her home.
