Why Would Bail Be Denied in My Case?

Not everyone gets bail. Sometimes, you could be denied bail. But why?

First, you need to remember there are certain factors that the judge takes into account when deciding bail for your case. Some of the most common factors include:

• How serious the crime you allegedly committed is
• If you’re a danger to the community
• The circumstances of the offense
• Whether you’re a flight risk
• Your standing in the community (such as if you are employed, own property, etc.)
• The likelihood of you showing up to your court dates
• Your immigration status
• Any past convictions or whether you are already out on bail
• Any concerns that criminal activity may occur while you’re out on bail

If for some reason, the judge believes you’re not eligible for bail, is there a way that you can petition the court for a new bail hearing? The answer is yes. Just like if you want to get your bail reduced, you can appeal the judge’s ruling and ask for a new hearing.

But let’s say you did get bail and for some reason it was revoked. What does this mean? Getting your bail revoked means that you did one of the following:

• You committed a crime while on bond
• You violated the conditions of your bail like missing a court date or failing to stay away from the victim of the crime you allegedly committed

If bail is revoked, this means you go back to jail, a decision that cannot be appealed.
