Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Re: Status Hearing

It will take some legal horsepower to get a bond on a violation of probation, as Florida law does not require a bond on a Violation.

Re: Status Hearing

The judge has the authority to grant a bond but the chances of getting a bond are almost none.

Re: Status Hearing

Your question is not very clear. Was your brother picked up on both a VOP and a new law offense (Capital Felony), or is the underlying offense he is on probation for a Capital Felony?

If it is the first, then no Judge I know of would grant your client a bond on the VOP, because a person is not entitled to a bond on a VOP. On the Capital offense, the State is allowed to request that you be held on no bond if they can show that the proof of guilt is great.

However, if it is the latter and he just violated with civil, as opposed to criminal offenses such as DUI or DWLS, there is a chance a judge would grant a bond.

You need to consult with an attorney to figure out your options.

Best of luck,
