At the 75 day point (75 days after arrest), IF there is no bond, the attorney should request a bond hearing. So, the hearing will be scheduled close to the 90 day date (90 days after arrest). If on the 91st day after the arrest, the person has not been indicted, then the judge must set a bond for the person. Two problems: (1) the bond it not automatically set - there must be a hearing scheduled in order for the judge to set a bond; and (2) the judge does not have to set a bond that the person can make.
