Can the perpetrator get out of jail once he is arrested?
After a perpetrator is arrested a bond is set within 72 hours. The amount of the bond depends entirely upon the judge. That perpetrator can bond out of jail at any time if his/her bond is paid. A defendant might be out of jail a short time after the crime is committed until trial. Defendants that cannot pay their bond may have a bond reduction hearing in which the judge has the opportunity to lower their bond.
