Washington Waiver of Detention Hearing is a court proceeding in which an accused individual requests a pre-trial release from jail. The purpose of the hearing is to determine whether the accused should be released from jail pending trial. The court considers several factors when making this determination, including the accused's criminal history, the nature of the alleged offense, and the accused's ties to the community. There are two types of Washington Waiver of Detention Hearing: an initial hearing and a continued hearing. The initial hearing is the first hearing in which the court hears evidence and makes a determination regarding the accused's release. The continued hearing is held after the initial hearing to determine if the accused is still eligible for release.
