New Jersey Bail Hearings
Bail is meant to ensure that you will return to appear in court after your release. At your bail hearing, the Judge reviews a number of factors to determine whether you are eligible for bail and in what amount:
- How serious is the crime with which you are being charged?
- Do you have a criminal record?
- Have you been released on bail in the past, and if so, did you fulfill the bail conditions?
- What is your mental condition and reputation?
- Do you have family ties and relationships in the community?
- How long have you lived in the area?
- Do you have a Job, and if so, how long?
- What is your financial situation?
- Will any responsible community members vouch for you and your reliability?
- Are there any other factors that would demonstrate either your dependability in appearing for court or risks that you may fail to appear?
For most charges, you need only post 10 percent of the bail set by the judge to be released. However, this 10 percent cash option is not available for certain crimes, such as felony murder, manslaughter, kidnapping and sexual assault.
