Dangerous Crimes

Summary

The law mandates that anyone who pleads guilty, nolo contendere, or is found guilty of a dangerous crime must be taken into custody right away and remain there until sentencing, with no option for release on bond. It applies even if the person intends to appeal, unless the conviction is later vacated, reversed, acquitted, or otherwise nullified. The measure defines "dangerous crime" to include offenses such as homicide, kidnapping, arson, sexual offenses against children, and many others.
