Describe the two types of disposition hearings and explain why they are separate hearings?

What will be an ideal response?


The answer should include the following points:
• The first type, which is used less and less frequently in the United States, occurs at the same time as the adjudicatory hearing
• The second type of disposition hearing occurs following the adjudicatory hearing.
• The reason for separating the two hearings is to prevent judges from learning information that is prejudicial to the defendant.
