Bail is defined as the amount of money a defendant arrested without a warrant pays to be released from custody and show up in court at a later date.
The purpose of bail is to ensure that a defendant appears in court. Once they appear in court, they are given their money back, regardless of the outcome of their case.
Amendment VIII of the U.S. Constitution states that “excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
What is “excessive?” → Determined through severity of the crime by a judge (Penal Code 1296b(b))
According to Penal Code 1275, the judge considers public safety and the damage done to the victim when selecting bail amount.
Often times, bail can vary by county
Criminal defense bail attorney William Kroger is well-versed in the nuances of Bail relating to LA county,
The purpose of a bail schedule is to have a fixed bail for sentences
The “term” is the length of the sentence. If there are multiple offenses, the length of each sentence is added to determine bail
For small crimes that require no time in jail, the fine is equal to the bail amount.
For large crimes, like murder or treason, the court may deny bail on the grounds that the defendant may be a danger to the public if released from custody.
This is known as a violation of a bail condition.
holds that if even a small portion of bail deposit or payments are derived from “felonious activity”, bail shall not be accepted.
This is called a “1275 hold”.
Individuals with drug charges are especially prone to receiving a 1275 hold when they attempt to post bail.
LA Drug Charge attorney William Kroger is well versed in the nuances related to 1275 holds as they pertain to drug charges.
The court will consider bail money illegal if:
A police officer files a sworn declaration that they have “probable cause” to believe the money you are using to pay bail with was obtained illegally.
A prosecutor files a sworn declaration that they have “probable cause” to believe the money you are using to pay bail with was obtained illegally.
Prosecutors have “civil immunity” when filing such sworn declarations.
That means, if they tell the court that your money was obtained illegally, they cannot be sued in a separate proceeding if the claim is found to be false.
The judge believes that the money was obtained illegally.
If the court determines that “probable cause” exists to believe that your bail money was obtained illegally, you must prove that it is not by “a preponderance of the evidence”
All a preponderance of the evidence means is, “more likely than not”.
LA criminal defense attorney Bill Kroger can help you meet the burden of proof for proving that bail money is not illegal.
When this burden is met, you will be allowed to post bail and be released at the authorized amount.
