But isn’t it granted or does everyone get bail?

Bail is rarely denied.

Like the mother in LC who killed her kid recently, and left the 1-year old on i10...even she got bail set (it was $9M, but it was set).

Just because it happens doesnt make it right. Jesus fricking christ man

Bail rarely being denied is the fricking point, and as usual, to be the ultimate contrarian, the point goes directly over your head.

With the amount of violent domestic shite on this guys sheet not unreasonable to deny bail as he was clearly a threat to family and friends and the general public

It cannot be excessive.

Denying bail for a felon in possession alone would be very excessive.

The system is broken.

quote:

Iberia Parish

In 2022, Hurst pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a firearm and possession of firearm by a convicted felon. He was sentenced to four years for the assault charge and eight for the gun offense, which were to be served concurrently, per court minutes. He was given credit for time already served.

According to Iberia Parish court records, those charges were part of a slew of offenses he collected in mid-November 2018. Among other offenses, he faced charges including battery of a dating partner, telephone harassment and criminal damages – but those extra charges were abandoned as part of a plea agreement.

Hurst was previously accused of attempted first-degree murder but, in 2017, pleaded guilty to an amended charge of conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. He was sentenced to serve 10 years at hard labor, according to Iberia Parish court records. He was given credit for time served.


quote:

Lafayette Parish

Last year, Hurst was charged with possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of schedule II drugs, resisting arrest and several gun charges, including possessing firearms with obliterated numbers or marks.

He was set for arraignment in November on those charges, but because he didn’t appear for court, his arraignment was rescheduled. He failed to show up for court in February and again in May when the court attempted to hold his arraignment. Court minutes show that because of his nonappearance in February, a fugitive warrant was issued for his arrest.


quote:

St. Mary Parish

Online court records show that Hurst faced a domestic abuse battery charge in 2014.

A previous sheriff in Iberia would have had this handled without this result

He was legendary for quick justice

So it’s not in the constitution that everyone gets bail? And if we can’t keep felons who commit additional felonies in jail why bother granting or no granting it at all

Leave his arse sitting in the parish jail, then he won't have a choice but to appear in court.

Incorrect.

quote:

Again, incorrect.

C.Cr.P Art 316
Factors in fixing amount of bail
The amount of bail shall be fixed in an amount that will ensure the presence of the defendant, as required, and the safety of any other person and the community, having regard to:
(1) The seriousness of the offense charged, including but not limited to whether the offense is a crime of violence or involves a controlled dangerous substance.
(2) The weight of the evidence against the defendant.
(3) The previous criminal record of the defendant.
(4) The ability of the defendant to give bail.
(5) The nature and seriousness of the danger to any other person or the community that would be posed by the defendant's release.
(6) The defendant's voluntary participation in a pretrial drug testing program.
(7) The absence or presence in the defendant of any controlled dangerous substance.
(8) Whether the defendant is currently out on a bail undertaking on a previous felony arrest for which he is awaiting institution of prosecution, arraignment, trial, or sentencing.
(9) Any other circumstances affecting the probability of defendant's appearance.
(10) The type or form of bail.


It’s not solely/simply “just to ensure he appears at court because he’s innocent until proven guilty”. It’s also not excessive to deny bail on a 95.1 when based on the factors in 316.
