Changed circumstances after bond hearing (and during appeal of bond amount) Login/Join 
Member

We had a writ hearing alleging excessive bail. The judge sets a bond amount based upon the circumstances of the offense alone. Def appeals. During the pendency of the appeal, we learn of some significant uncharged criminal conduct committed by Def but tolled by the S/L. We're trying to determine the best course of action to keep the Def in jail. I don't see how to "reopen" the writ hearing at this point... I'm thinking about waiting until we get a decision from the Ct of Appeals and then filing a motion to increase the bond if they reduce the bond amount set at the writ hearing. Any other idea??? Thanks.
