DALE CARSON LAW

There are circumstances in the state of Florida where someone may not, by law, be entitled to a bond. This is very common in serious offenses such as homicides, armed robberies, any sort of sexual related offense, those may well not be entitled to a bond. Additionally, even on more minor offenses there are circumstances where someone may not be entitled to a bond. The final area where we see many folks who do not get a bond is dealing with violations of probation, which, by law, that individual is not entitled to one. They may have a right to it, but they are not by law entitled to one in a violation of probation or violation of parole situation.

In such cases, the decision to deny bond revolves around the type of offense and the seriousness of the crime alongside the suspect’s records. The court determines the threat posed to society and the possibility of the defendant attending successive hearings. For instance, when the crime is committed for the second time or if the defendant is suspected of fleeing the court, the judge could have valid reasons to deny bond to the client for the safety of society and sound legal procedures. However, it must be noted that being denied bond is not an indication that the individual is guilty. Instead, it is a preventive measure meant to uphold the rights of every person while protecting society’s welfare.
