A bail and bond hearing determines whether a defendant is eligible for release from custody prior to trial, and under what conditions. This hearing ensures that the defendant’s rights are considered while balancing public safety concerns.
The court assesses factors like the nature of the offense, flight risk, and community ties to decide on bail amounts or bond conditions.
Depending on the court’s policies and case specifics, some bail and bond hearings may allow remote participation. However, it is important to consult with your attorney to understand the options and requirements for your particular hearing.
