California’s constitution guarantees most criminal defendants in Kern County and elsewhere in the state the right to pretrial release on bail, with exceptions for certain capital and violent felony cases. The California Supreme Court has ruled that ability to pay must be part of every bail decision, and that less restrictive conditions should be used when they would protect the public and ensure the defendant appears in court. Judges may not consider a request for a jury trial when setting bail (Rule 4.101).
