Discretion of the Court is the system of the court that governs individuals those who are charged for committing crimes, examine the time of their trial and other during major purposes of trial. A person who accused of committing a crime is normally is held in the jail till the time it is proved that whether the person is guilty or innocent. However, the court has the authority to bail out the person before the trial. But they would need certain documentation and that the person cannot leave the place until the trial takes place. Sometimes the person who is accused may also need to pay some fines or

When a defendant is arrested, one of our bail bondsmen will post the client’s bond. The defendant is then accountable to the bondsman until the case is over. If you don’t show up for your court case, fail to pay the bond, or get charged again while out on bond, our bondsmen can arrest you.

When the court issues an arrest warrant because the defendant failed to appear before the court, the defendant can ask for their bail bond reinstated, if the communicates early with the court.

1: Before I begin, for those within the audience who are unsure of what bail is, it is the temporary release of a person awaiting trial. We imposed this very important question to you tonight because since its first introduction in 1978, there have been more than 85 amendments to the Bail Act. We, all together are going to investigate why, how and who pushed for these amendments and reforms.

The court is the second component of the justice system – once the suspect is arrested, s/he is referred to as a defendant. It is now up to the court to decide if the police had enough evidence for probable cause for arrest – if the determination is positive, then the defendant gets an opportunity to plead innocent or guilty. Once the court establishes that the defendant is innocent, s/he is released; on the other hand if the defendant is found guilty the court decides the type of punishment and then the defendant is turned over to the Corrections for the follow up of the punishment.

This might seem like a basic question, but it's one that's asked frequently. When someone has been arrested, the court wants to ensure that they'll return. Bail is security that is provided to the court that will guarantee the person shows up for all their court appearances.

The person who put up the collateral or paid the bond might have to secure the services of the apprehension agent, which means more money out of their pocket. This means that if your loved one doesn't appear at all their court appointments, they can be considered a fugitive. You can help the bail bonds agent find the person by providing information as to their whereabouts. Skipping bail is very serious and could mean a guilty verdict will extend their jail time.

The suspect usually receives bail, but in this case I believe that an arraignment will come first due to the legal status of the defendant.

The process of bailing someone out of jail refers to the amount of money paid to the court to release the prisoner. Once the prisoner is released, the bail helps to ensure that the defendant shows up for their court date. A prisoner who doesn't show up for court can cause the bail to be forfeited. Often, defendants will show up for court because they don't want their loved ones to lose their money. Bail varies depending on the crime, the defendant's

Release of an accused pending trial on the accused’s written promise to appear at all required court proceedings is a mode of pretrial release known as the accused’s personal recognizance.

A bailment is, a legal relationship in common law, where actual possession of personal property is transferred from one individual (Bailor), to another individual (Bailee). The bailee then has possession of the property. Bailments often are formed when an object or objects are given to someone for safe keeping. The most common

You may be familiar with the courtroom scene in movies where the judge sets bail for the accused suspect. Sometimes they set an unreasonable amount for bail, or decide to not allow it at all. Bail is a great way to give a suspect temporary freedom. They money they pay is held by the court, and given back to the suspect when they return for their court date. Here are some questions you may have about bail to clarify any confusion you have.

Every detainee must have a custody record opened for them when in police detention. All information is recorded here by the custody sergeant with relevant times and dates also recorded, verified by the custody officer’s signature (PACE act 1984). The Custody record is an ‘open’ document that must be made available to the defence, a detainee’s solicitor is entitled to see the custody record the moment of arrival at a designated police station and must be given a copy at request any time within 12 months of the detainee leaving police detention or coming before the courts. It is the Custody Sergeants responsibility to make sure that the custody record is kept up to date, accurate, and complete. The detainees must also be read out their three basic rights under code C of the PACE act, these rights are the right to have somebody informed of their arrest, the right to consult with a solicitor and be given free legal advice and the right to consult the codes of practice (YourRights 2007). The Custody officer must also assess mental health and identify any communication barriers; this may result in the need for an interpreter or possibly even the consultation of a doctor. They must also review any evidence relating to the investigation and decide whether there is a sufficient amount to charge or whether the detainee must be kept in custody so more evidence can be obtained. The custody officer must determine whether he

In some countries, a criminal defendant is permitted to post a bail bond in exchange for being released while his or her court case is pending. A bail bond company or an individual generally posts the bond and thereby agrees to pay a certain amount of money if the defendant fails to appear at a scheduled court date. When an accused released on bail fails to appear in court when required, or otherwise violates a condition of the bail bond, the court can declare the bail bond forfeited. A forfeited bond becomes the property of the jurisdiction overseeing the case, and it cannot be
