Assault is a crime that can be split into different degrees. First degree is the most serious, and often means that the accused may have used a deadly weapon to intentionally injure, disfigure, or kill another individual. There are also three different types of assault: assault, assault and battery, and aggravated assault. These all involve intentionally harming another individual, but differ based on the seriousness of the attack. The type of crime, as well as the degree, can help to determine bail.
Assault bail bonds are a little different compared to other types of bonds. This is because one of the main stipulations of an assault bail bond is what is known as a “personal protection order”. This means that part of the deal if you pay the bail bond and await trial out of jail is that you adhere to the parameters of the protection order. This may involve staying a certain distance away from the victim, not contacting them, etc. If the accused fails to follow these directions, they will be brought back to await trial in jail. In addition, a few other factors that help to determine this bail includes:
Past aggressions. Has the accused been violent with this individual before? Does the suspect have a past of assault charges? If this is a first time violation, that fact can help to lower bail.
The outcomes of the incident. What was the incident? How violent was it? What was the outcome of the incident (ie. injury)? More serious acts of violence and assault will result in higher bails.
Who the assault was against. Assault against a family member or other member of the household may not be as serious as one against someone else in the community. However, as said previously, this also depends on the incident itself. Sexual battery against a significant other, for example, can be a high bail.
Posting bail can be scary, especially for an individual who has not had experience doing so before, or who does not understand the process. At Freedom Bail Bonding, we emphasize the need for our clients to understand our process, and get their questions/concerns addressed early.
