Q: My husband is being falsely accused of a serious crime there’s evidence ruling his innocence.when will he be released
A: If he already had a detention hearing and Judge kept him you'll need an attorney to file a new hearing request. If the court still keeps him in jail then he'll be there until the trial and if acquitted he'll leave.
A: Depends on the status of the case at this point. He may not be released until trial unless you file a motion or have a lawyer argue for him at a detention hearing of which he gets two an initial hearing upon his jailing generally within 24 hours and a second hearing within 5 days generally. Unfortunately many inmates have evidence showing their innocence, the question is does it negate sufficiently all of the evidence the state has showing his guilt.
