This is a question that can't be answered without looking at the case. The judge must set a bail that is not excessive and reasonable to secure the Defendants appearance in Court.

A commissioner will make a preliminary bail determination based on the liklihood of failing to appear and the risk to public safety. Perhaps the commissioner will even release him on personal recognizance. If he cannot post bail, he will have a bail review by a judge. I offer a free initial consultation.
