Southern California Bail Bonds

Simpson made his $125,000 bail on charges including kidnapping and armed robbery on September 19, 2007. People might ask if the amount of bail was justified? Unfortunately, the presiding judge over the case may deter from the bail bond schedule for that jurisdiction based on the individual's past criminal history and the likeliness of flight. In addition, for the sole purposes of bail, the defendant is considered guilty of the underlying charges.

In this case, I believe the court was justified in the amount of bail set for O.J. Simpson. Let's not forget, it is our constitutional right to non-excessive bail under the 8th amendment.
