Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Re: Bond

It means that the person is to be held in jail, and cannot be bailed out (although the person can have a bail review).

Re: Bond

The judge has issued a bench warrant that will not allow a preliminary hearing for release of the defendant without the bench making a decision. Contact an attorney for representation.

Re: Bond

It means the defendant will not be released.

Re: Bond

Typically, if a case is not serious or the defendant has not disobeyed a direct order of court, any warrant issued will have a pre-set bond that can be posted to have him released and ensure his appearance in court.

However, if the case is a violation of probation/pretrial release or a very serious charge such as murder, or where the defendant has failed to appear in court before or is otherwise a flight risk, no bond will be set (meaning that the judge thinks that once the defendant is incarcerated, if he were to be released, he might flee).

You need to get an attorney to attempt to quash the warrant, or to get a reasonable bond set.
