What kind of Bond with Serious Felony Charges are Pending?

Was he granted a bail hearing or is he held without a bond? Even with the "no prior history" on his record, the charges are very serious and the likelihood he receives straight probation is dubious. But, please understand that we are not lawyers and also do not have access to the complete record so we are giving a general response based on years of experience but in no way should you rely on our answer in making any decisions. The attitude of the prosecutor and the judge will ultimately decide if this case can be settled or if it will go to trial. Our best guess is that the prosecutor will recommend a plea of a few years in jail in lieu of trial - using the prospect of a very long sentence (10 plus years) as a deterrent to avoid the cost of a jury trial.
