FAQ
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT A JUDGE LOOKS AT WHEN DETERMINING BAIL AMOUNT? The defendant's flight risk. The defendant's criminal history. The severity of the alleged crime. The defendant's ties to the community. The defendant's employment status and financial resources. The defendant's mental health and substance abuse history.
You need to file a motion to amend bond conditions with the court. You should at least consult with a local criminal defense attorney (if you are not already represented by someone) to discuss the issues the court will consider, and the best way to address those issues.
Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.
Judges consider 13 specific factors when choosing conditions of release. Those conditions include the nature of the crime charged, the person's ties to the community, the person's financial resources, and the safety of others.
Unconditional Bail. As opposed to conditional bail, unconditional bail is simpler and a bit unstructured. An unconditional bail is usually applied when the accused person is a no–flight-risk, their charges are relatively insignificant, they don't seem like a danger to society, and they have a clean criminal record.
Gross Misdemeanor Domestic Assaults For gross misdemeanor domestic assault charges, just like with misdemeanors, the Court can set bail at up to 10 times the maximum fine amount. So, this means up to $30,000 without conditions. Again, the Court must set a bail amount without conditions.
