Quick question

posted by [personal profile] panik at 03:39pm on 10/02/2009 under ,
Since much Googling has failed me. You're an American; you've been charged with murder and refused bail, they're going to hold you in prison till your trial.  In the UK, this would be termed 'remanded in custody'. What would it be called in the US?

(I'm sure I asked this once before but darned if I can find the post so maybe not.)
Many TIA.

ETA. Apparently it's pretty much the same, remanded into custody. Thank you everyone.

Aagh. It's the sort of thing that crops up in "Law and Order" all the time (at the bail-hearings). I think "custody" figures in it, but the verb isn't "remanded". Sorry not to be more help.

If Law and Order is correct, it is indeed remand. Just saw one last night, where the guy was remanded.

ETA: Here it is:

That's great - I googled the phrase and all it came up with were British hits so I assumed it was different over there. many thanks hon.

How about "bound over for trial" or "held over for trial"? That's heard in the news quite often.

I went with remanded in the end - it's one line in a 100,000 word plot, I'm not going to sweat it too much. *g*
