Question

A friend of mine is in jail for a robbery charge he didn't commit and he got his bail set a week ago but, its too high.

I wanted to know can he file a motion hearing for a bail reduction?

How long should he wait to file one?

Also, he has a criminal past.

Now, can the judge put his bail higher because of his past?

That is what my friend is afraid of.



Answer

A motion for a bail reduction can be filed. You should hire a competent criminal defense attorney to do so.
