fix bail

Read a random definition: discovery

A quick definition of fix bail:

Fix bail is when a judge sets the amount of money or conditions that a person must follow in order to be released from jail before their trial. This money or conditions act as a security to ensure that the person will show up for their court date. If they don't show up, they may lose the money or face other consequences. Bail can be paid in cash or through a bond, and excessive bail is not allowed under the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To set the amount and terms of bail. This is done after hearing the officer's testimony. For example, "After hearing the evidence, the judge fixed bail for the defendant at $100,000."

Examples:

  • When someone is arrested, they may be required to pay bail in order to be released from jail until their trial. The judge will fix bail, which means they will set the amount of money that must be paid in order for the person to be released.
  • If someone is accused of a serious crime, the judge may fix bail at a high amount to ensure that the person will show up for their trial.

These examples illustrate how the term "fix bail" is used in the legal system. When a judge fixes bail, they are setting the terms for a person's release from jail. The amount of bail can vary depending on the severity of the crime and the likelihood that the person will show up for their trial.
