Get to Know the 8th Amendment.

There are certain amendments to the Constitution that most of us know.  The 2nd, the5th, the 19th the 21st, the 22nd, etc.  There are several that even a casual citizen of the United States knows at least partially.  The 8th amendment is a part of the Bill of Rights, but it is not that well known.  It protects a defendant’s right to fair bail.

Bail insures the court that the accused will show up on time for all of their scheduled appearances.  Bail must NEVER be used as a means of punishment!  It is not fair to the accused to set a bail amount that is not commiserate with the charge.  The meaning of that in the late 1700’s is sometimes lost on 21st century America.

The judicial system can set bail at whatever it sees fit.  That is why you need aggressive representation to keep the fee reasonable.  If you are faced with a criminal charge and an upcoming bail hearing immediately contact Kidder and Bennet.  They are the bail bond defense attorneys of Pinellas County.  Call right away at (727) 821-8000.
