Search Result for: Deferred Hearings in the Mexican Criminal System: Causes, Delays, and Termination of Detention under the CNPP

In the Mexican criminal justice system, deferred hearings can occur due to various factors, including the complexity of cases, lack of available judges, or procedural delays. These hearings can significantly affect the timeline of legal proceedings and the ability of defendants to secure timely justice. Under the National Code of Criminal Procedure (CNPP), provisions exist that allow for the cessation of preventive detention if hearings are not conducted in a timely manner. However, the practical application of these provisions often faces hurdles, leading to extensive pretrial detentions and raising concerns regarding the right to a fair trial.
