Why can't my son/daughter have a bond?
|
|
All defendants are entitled to have the court consider setting conditions of release, which might include an appearance bond requirement. However, there are situations when the court finds, after considering the particulars of the case and the defendant's prior history, that there are no conditions that could be imposed that provide reasonable assurance that the defendant would appear at future court settings and not endanger the community while awaiting trial. In these cases, the defendant is "detained" pending trial.
