Types of Bail in Virginia Criminal Cases However, if the magistrate does not set bond, then you will remain in jail either until released after trial or sentencing or until your defense attorney files a motion in court. There are three types of bail set in Virginia criminal cases: Recognizance.
And while some will tell you that you can't remain anonymous, the short answer is actually yes, you can. (But with one major consideration.) The Court is going to need a name and person to return the bond to once the court date has been successfully completed.
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation.
Virginia Code Section 19.2-120 states that a person pending a trial or hearing, shall be admitted to bail, unless there is reason to believe: They will not appear for trial. They are an unreasonable danger to himself/ herself. They would constitute an unreasonable danger to the public.
Steep Bail for Very Serious Crimes While felonies have a wide range of bail amounts, the most serious, violent, or dangerous crimes often have bail set at $100,000 or higher. Some examples include: Murder: $1 million or more. Rape: Starting around $250,000 for rape charges.
What factors does a magistrate consider when determining bail? By law, a magistrate must consider: (i) The nature and circumstances of the offense. (ii) Whether a firearm is alleged to have been used in the offense.
There is no fixed schedule for bond amounts, but typical amounts might be $500-5000 for misdemeanors; $2500-10,000 for property and drug felonies; and $25,000-50,000 or much more for serious felonies.
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
