Best Bail Lawyer in Delhi NCR
A bail is money or frequently, a
bail bond that is put up for the suspect to allow him or her to remain free
until the completion of the case. Bail basically creates a financial incentive
for a suspect to appear in court — failure to do so results in the loss of your
bails money you’ll also get a warrant for your arrest, and you can add bail
jumping to your criminal charges, to boot.
HOW IS BAIL PAID
AND WHAT IS A BAIL BONDSMAN ?
Bail can be paid, primarily, in
three ways: Pony up the full amount in cash (checks and VISA may also be
accepted). Conversely, you can enroll the services of a bail bondsman. A bail
bondsman will pay your entire bail, but you’ll give up a premium – usually
around 10 percent, which isn’t refundable. And if the suspect fails to appear
in court, that poor bail bondsman is going to lose the entire bail payment,
which is why a bond seller will ask that you put down collateral, such as your
house or car, to cover the bond seller’s loss in the even that you skip out.
And if you are a high-risk, and you don’t have collateral, you can bet that
you’ll have a difficult time obtaining the services of a bail bondsman. I’d
advise, however, that if you can afford it – paying bail outright is a better
option than using a bail bond seller — if you make all your court appearances,
you’ll get your cash back whether you’re found guilty or not; with a bond
seller, no matter the outcome of the case, you’ll lose the 10 percent premium.
In some instances, the court may help you out by offering its own version of bond-selling
services, allowing you to put down 10 percent and collateral, but in this case,
you get the 10 percent refunded if you make all your court appearances.
Finally, in some other instances, you can simply deposit with the court
personal property worth the amount of bail. Traditionally, bail is some form of
property deposited or pledged to a court to persuade it to release a suspect
from jail, on the understanding that the suspect will return for trial or
forfeit the bail (and possibly be brought up on charges of the crime of failure
to appear). In some cases bail money may be returned at the end of the trial,
if all court appearances are made, regardless of whether the person is found
guilty or not guilty of the crime accused. If a bondsman is used and a surety
bond has been obtained, the fee for that bond is the fee for the insurance
policy purchased and is not refundable. In some countries granting bail is
common. Even in such countries, however, bail may not be offered by some courts
under some circumstances for instance, if the accused is considered likely not
to appear for trial regardless of bail. Legislatures may also set out certain
crimes to be not bail able, such as capital crimes.
Bail Reform Act
Of 1966
It should be noted that, although
the Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail, there is no inherent
Constitutional right for a Defendant to be offered bail in the first place. In
1966, Congress enacted the Bail Reform Act of 1966, which changes that by
giving non-capital defendants a statutory right where a Constitutional right is
lacking, to be released, pending trial, on his personal recognizance or on
personal bond, unless the judicial officer determines that such incentives will
not adequately assures his appearance at trial. In that case, the judge must
select an alternative from a list of conditions, such as restrictions on
travel. Individuals charged with a capital crime, or who have been convicted
and are awaiting sentencing or appeal, are to be released unless the judicial
officer has reason to believe that no conditions will reasonably assure that
the person will not flee or pose a danger. In non-capital cases, the Act does
not permit a judge to consider a suspect's danger to the community, only in
capital cases or after conviction is the judge authorized to do so. The 1966
Act was particularly criticized within the District of Columbia where all
crimes formerly fell under Federal bail law. In a number of instances, persons
accused of violent crimes committed additional crimes when released on their
personal recognizance. These individuals were often released yet again. The
Judicial Council committee recommended that, even in non-capital cases, a
person's dangerousness should be considered in determining conditions for
release. The District of Columbia Court Reform and Criminal Procedure Act of
1970 allowed judges to consider dangerousness and risk of flight when setting
bail in noncapital cases.
