No, it is at the bond hearing that a magistrate (a special judge that handles arraignments and setting release bonds) will decide the merits of a bond. What is the prosecution suggesting? They have a lot of influence over the amount that is ultimately set. The bond is specific to the charges, criminal history and whether the magistrate (and prosecution) feels the offender is a treat to the community and will they reappear for the court dates.
