Although the right to bail has constitutional recognition in the prohibition against excessive bail, bail is not always a matter of right. However, with certain exceptions a defendant charged with a criminal offense shall be released on bail.

Persons charged with capital crimes when the facts are evident or the presumption of guilt great are excepted from the right to be released on bail. However, a defendant charged with a capital crime is entitled to a bail hearing at the trial court. The bail hearing at the trial court will determine whether the facts are evident or the presumption great.

A crime is a capital offense if the statute makes it potentially punishable by death or life imprisonment, even if the prosecutor/government has agreed not to seek the death penalty. It is presumed that the risk of flight of the defendant is great when he or she is facing death or life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Bail can be denied in some cases that do not involve a capital offense (murder, espionage, etc.) for example if the court finds it likely the defendant will do harm to his or her accusers. Based on sufficient facts or strong presumption bail may be denied in the following instances:

Felony cases involving extreme acts of violence.
Felony sexual assault offenses on another person.
If the court finds that there is a substantial likelihood that the defendant would cause harm to others upon being released.
If a court finds after reviewing available evidence that the accused has threatened another with great bodily harm or death and there is a strong likelihood the accused would carry out that threat if released.

The requirement of findings based on clear and convincing evidence implies that a hearing will be held on the issue. The likelihood a defendant would cause public harm would be determined on review of the circumstances of the case, and the history of the defendant. The decision to grant or deny bail is subject to review on petition by the defendant.

The amount of the bail is primarily within the discretion of the judge or magistrate with only two general limitations:

First: The purpose of bail is not to punish but only to secure the appearance of the defendant and it should be fixed with that in mind.
Second: Excessive bail not warranted by the circumstances is not only improper but a violation of constitutional rights. When fixing the amount of the bail the court takes into consideration the seriousness of the charge, the defendant’s previous criminal record, and the probability of the defendant appearing at the trial or hearing.
Additionally: If public safety is an issue the court may make an inquiry where it may consider allegations of injury to the victim, the use of a deadly weapon, threats to the victim or a witness, and the defendant’s use or possession of controlled substances.

A judge or magistrate setting bail other than the amount called for in the bail schedule must state on the record the reasons and address the issue of threats made against a victim or a witness. The court must also consider evidence offered by the detained person regarding ties to the community and ability to post bond.

Bail Bonds are good for 1 year. The bail bond is renewable at the end of the year if the bail bond is not exonerated. If the bail bond is exonerated the Angels Bail Bonds in Santa Ana will release the indemnitors liability.

A defendant who is convicted and given probation is released from custody and the bail must be exonerated.
