The Arrest thru Bail Process
What is an initial arraignment ?
From the accused's point of view, an arraignment is really about one thing, and one thing only - whether or not the judge will set bail, and if so, how much. OK that's really two things. But the point is that although other things happen at an arraignment, the most obvious and significant thing is the decision to set or not set bail.
If the judge does not set bail or the bail is set so high that the accused and his family can't make it, the accused could stay in jail for as long as it takes to work the case out or until one of the following things happens:
· The case is over
· A new bond application is made to the trial judge for re--consideration of bond release or bond reduction / bond modification.
If a bond is set, then the accused may post bail, typically either in cash or through a licensed bail bondsman. Going to a bail bond company will cost you a percentage of the total bond. This is known as the bond premium, typically 10% of the total bond amount, some states less / some more. To check on the costs of a bail bond in your state and for the lowest rates and financing options call toll free 1.800.224.5937.
Also at the arraignment / bond hearing, the accused will be informed (through his criminal defense lawyer) of the precise charges against him. Arraignments offer the accused the opportunity to hear the truth about the charges from a source they can trust.
