Prosecutor

In many states, the prosecutor (sometimes called the district attorney) takes a number of factors into consideration when making a recommendation about whether or not the court should set bail for the defendant (and if so, how high the bail should be set), or order the defendant to remain in jail until the next court appearance. In general, prosecutors may take into consideration the level of risk that a defendant might pose to a victim or to the public generally when making a decision about bail. One option that some victims pursue is to contact the prosecutor to inform her/him of past behaviors, incidents, etc. that might be relevant to that level of risk that a defendant may pose. I am not sure what specific information prosecutors in STATE might take into consideration as part of a bail hearing, but one option may be to contact that person and share the information you believe to be relevant. Again, I can’t provide advice on what options a person may have, but can only provide general information.
