What is Bail?
A person who is arrested may be held in jail pending a bail hearing if the court believes that the person is a danger to the community or that the person is unlikely to return to court for future proceedings. The court will also set bail a monetary figure that the defendant must pay to the court in order to be released pending future proceedings. The bail amount is forfeited to the court if the defendant fails to appear in the future. A bail hearing is some of the things the court considers in determining the amount of bail include the person’s ties to the community: (1) length and nature of employment; (2) presence of family members; (3) community involvement; (4) prior criminal history and history of court appearances. If you need a lawyer your attorney will review with you all necessary facts in order to properly present your case for a bail reduction or a release without bail. Often that release is critical to allow you to communicate and work with your attorney for your defense. How your case is presented at this juncture could well determine whether you are released pending a trial.
