Who Decides My Bail?
Bail is set by a judge who reviews your case and makes several judgments regarding the circumstances of your arrest. A handful of factors are used to determine how much money your bail will cost. The severity of the crime, whether or not a firearm or weapon was involved, prior criminal activity and the likelihood that the defendant will return to the court to stand trial are all factors that are taken into account when assessing a defendant’s bail amount. Additionally, most jurisdictions have predetermined bail schedules that place bail amounts with corresponding crimes. However theses bail schedules are subject to revision at the discretion of the judge presiding over your case.
