Condiciones de liberación para acusados de violencia doméstica

Explicación Simple

Si alguien es acusado de un crimen de violencia doméstica, un juez puede permitir que salga de la cárcel, pero con reglas. Por ejemplo, puede tener que usar un dispositivo que monitoree dónde está y no acercarse a la víctima.

Es como cuando un niño tiene que usar una pulsera de seguridad en un parque para que sus padres sepan dónde está y asegurarse de que no se aleje demasiado de ellos.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue acusado de amenazar a su pareja, Ana. El juez decide que Juan puede salir de la cárcel, pero debe llevar un dispositivo que le avise a Ana si se acerca a ella. También le pide que se mantenga alejado de la casa de Ana, y ella puede pedir que no vaya a ciertos lugares como su trabajo o la escuela.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

(6) If a defendant who is charged with a crime involving domestic violence, or any other assaultive crime, is released under this subsection and subsection (1), the judge or district court magistrate may order the defendant to wear an electronic monitoring device as a condition of release. With the informed consent of the victim, the court may also order the defendant to provide the victim of the charged crime with an electronic receptor device capable of receiving the global positioning system information from the electronic monitoring device worn by the defendant that notifies the victim if the defendant is located within a proximity to the victim as determined by the judge or district court magistrate in consultation with the victim. The victim shall also be furnished with a telephone contact with the local law enforcement agency to request immediate assistance if the defendant is located within that proximity to the victim. In addition, the victim may provide the court with a list of areas from which he or she would like the defendant excluded. The court shall consider the victim's request and shall determine which areas the defendant shall be prohibited from accessing. The court shall instruct the entity monitoring the defendant's position to notify the proper authorities if the defendant violates the order. In determining whether to order a defendant to wear an electronic monitoring device, the court shall consider the likelihood that the defendant's participation in electronic monitoring will deter the defendant from seeking to kill, physically injure, stalk, or otherwise threaten the victim prior to trial. The victim may request the court to terminate the victim's participation in the monitoring of the defendant at any time. The court shall not impose sanctions
