My client was charged with felony bail violation where the underlying crimes for which he was originally bailed on included Burglary, Aggravated Criminal Trespass, Domestic Violence and Witness Tampering. The state asked for $10,000.00 bail, which I argued was an outrageous request that was unsupported by the circumstances of the crime or the client’s criminal history.
After a lengthy bail argument, the court agreed with my analysis of the State’s case and set bail in the amount of $500.00. My client was grateful.
