What is Bail?
Bail is like a guarantee that the defendant will show up for court. Cases can last for weeks or even years. Most people have the right to bail, except for those accused of serious offenses like capital crime.
The defendant has the right for the bail amount not being too high. It depends on the seriousness of the crime. Crimes are classified from Class E (least serious) to Class A (most serious).
When someone is accused of a crime and the prosecutor believes there's enough evidence to charge them, the court sets bail. A bail bond is like a promise to appear in court.
