jparsonsBond in a Capital Murder
If I want to ask a judge to deny bond in a capital murder case is there a time requirement in which to hold a hearing? If so, does anyone have a standard form that they've used?
thanks,

kyearyYou might be thinking of the time limit for denial of bond in non-capital cases where denial is constitutional. I think it's in Art. I, sec. 11a or somewhere around there.
