Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While there are certainly circumstances where a defendant may be denied bail, the general practice is to release defendants on bail prior to their trial. However, the amount of bail required may vary based on factors such as the nature of the crime, the defendant's criminal history, and their perceived flight risk. In this particular case, it is possible that the defendant may be denied bail or have a very high bail set due to his prior arrest and possession of weapons and restraints.
