Why Does Posting an Assault Bail Bond Help?

Long Beach Bail Bonds To better answer this question, there are a few things we need to consider. There are many factors to consider when someone is faced with an assault case. During an arrest, it is important to note that officers responding to a scene analyze the situation objectively. The police conducting the investigation often do not know the details of the altercation and the parties involved other then what is presented to them once they arrive, or the details relayed by dispatch. Let us take an example and present a situation that is not what it seems. Say John is at Maria’s house having a cup of coffee. Cali Bail Bonds They are in the living room and suddenly, they hear a car crash just outside Maria’s home. Maria and John walk outside their home and notice two vehicles collided just outside the house. John and Maria immediately notice that there is a person lying on the ground near one vehicle, and in the other vehicle, the motorist is shocked but John and Maria notice that they are on their cell phone. The question we must ask is, who is the victim? Is it the person on the ground? Or the person on the phone? Try visualizing the scenario, how can we analyze this situation with the information we have now and reach a conclusion? The truth is we cannot. Someone reading this might say, wait a minute, the victim is the person on the ground. And although that maybe the case, we are missing vital information about the facts of the accident. Let us assume for a moment that the person on the ground caused the accident due to negligent behavior. Maybe this motorist was driving under the influence or was driving on the wrong side of the road, if those elements are present, the dynamics of the accident and our perspectives changed, so the victim is the motorists on the phone, not the injured party.

Now we apply the concept presented above to an assault case. In a lot of situations, the police respond to an altercation after the fact. Sometimes, there are elements that the police maybe unaware of that under the present circumstances, may lead the investigating officers to think that an aggressor was the victim or vice versa. Posting bail for an alleged assault offense gives the defendant the ability to prepare his or her defense. Gathering any witness’s information, footage of the incident, writing down what happened are just a few things we can start to gather. This will help in the future to fill in any missing details that may not be present in the defendant’s case discovery file. In situations where the defendant is the aggressor, he or she should still post bail because being out on bond will present an opportunity to isolate the incident, demonstrate a state of character, remorse, mitigate restitution and or seek professional help to prove to the courts that he or she is willing to take the necessary steps to rehabilitate.
