Question

Which is a judge most likely to do when concerned that a defendant will commit another serious crime if released on bail?

have the defendant pay a higher bail amount
have the defendant held without the option of bail
have the defendant followed by police
have the defendant found guilty without trial

Answer 1

have the defendant held without the option of bail

Answer 2

The answer would be A. Have the Defendant pay a higher bail amount... Judges I don't believe can take away a person right of bail because of the "innocent until proven Guilty". They won't have the defendant followed by the police 24/7 but they may have them monitored. And judges CANNOT take away a person right to a trial.
