A bail review hearing is a court hearing where the defense asks a judge to reduce the bail amount.
When it happens
At arraignment, or by motion at any point before trial. Most bail reductions are sought right after arraignment.
What's argued
The defendant's ties to the community, employment, family, lack of criminal history, and inability to afford the current bail.
Possible outcomes
Bail reduced, bail held the same, or release on Own Recognizance. The decision is the judge's.
