Posting Bail in Orange County
Bail is generally set according to a number of factors. Many counties rely on a bail schedule that sets bail at certain amounts according to the crime that has been committed. A judge may raise or lower that standard amount depending on additional information that is received at a court appearance. Judges often consider the seriousness of the crime, a defendant’s criminal record, the danger to the community and the possibility that a defendant may be a flight risk.
