FAQ
In cases of more serious crimes, the suspects will have to wait for a bail hearing. At the hearing, a judge will decide if the suspect may be released on bail and the amount. Bail is based on the suspect's flight chance and the crime accused.
Judges can use criteria such as the severity of charges or allegations, criminal history, and warrant history to determine what the bail amount will be after reviewing each individual case.
Defendant's Criminal History and Community Ties Other factors that influence the bail amount include a defendant's past criminal record, a defendant's record of bail jumping (or failure to appear), whether a defendant is employed, and whether a defendant has close ties to the community.
With crimes not deemed serious, the suspect can usually post bail immediately. In cases of more serious crimes, the suspects will have to wait for a bail hearing. At the hearing, a judge will decide if the suspect may be released on bail and the amount.
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.
