The silly git decided to break into a garage and was caught in the process. He was arrested and appeared in court this morning, he has been remanded until next week. Can anyone tell me why he was remanded and not bailed. He is a persistent burglar or anything. He hasnt got much of a criminal record.

Usually breaking into a residence, or a structure which is attached to a residence, such as a garage is a charge by the name, or named similar to Burglary of Habitation, which is a felony, depending on what circumstances, whose house, what he did when the police got there to have the judge give him no bond, additionally, if it can be established that your friend is a high flight risk, that could be another reason.....

Generally speaking, the courts won't remand someone unless there is a reasonable belief that the accused (a) will attempt to flee the jurisdiction of the court, or (b) will engage in further serious criminal acts. This case sounds kind of extreme to me, so I'm wondering if he has ever failed to appear before. That's usually a slam-dunk reason for remand...

Many times, if the D.A.'s office asks for remand and the defendant's lawyer does not come up with a good reason for bail, then that is it. The D.A. gets what he wants. Did your friend have a lawyer? What did the lawyer say when remand was requested?

He must have pissed off the cops, the judge, the DA, or just been a total jerk. How much is "not much?" He is a repeat offender. It sounds like this boy has a REAL slow learning curve and should be given a few dozen years to study. That will keep him out of the rest of our lives. One mistake? Hey,it happens. REPEATERS think they are smarter, better, or more deserving than the rest of society, and therefor become preditors/parasites.

Good I am glad he is locked up then he wont be able to break into garages and steal things then.
She should dump him as he sounds like a no good criminal, anyway she wont see him for a long time.

They probably don't trust the thieving toerag to turn up at court. He hasn't got much of a criminal record! Most people haven't got a criminal record at all!

Sounds like he has a record which may show that he is indeed a "persistent" burglar. There may be other circumstances too... such as his prints have been found at other scenes, drug or alcohol use, flight risk, etc.

Its because burglary is a serious offence. "He hasnt got much of a criminal record" implies that he has one which the courts will also take into account.

Impossible to tell. There could be a number of reasons, and anything here would be shear guesswork.
