Best Answer

(in the US) If you have already been convicted, found guilty, and sentenced - the evidence against you was more convincing than your defense that you did not commit it, and you will serve the term of your sentence. If you are newly arrested, you will be held in jail until your trial - at which time you will have the opportunity to refute the state's evidence against you.
