Discuss the pros and cons of possible bail outcomes from a prosecutorial and defense attorney position
What will be an ideal response?
The defense lawyer argues that high bail punishes a defendant and that defendants can be punished only after trial and conviction. Another argument of defense lawyers is that high bail can be used as preventive detention, to unlawfully detain a defendant based on only the possibility that the defendant may be a threat to others.
In most states, preventive detention in this sense is not regarded as a legitimate basis for setting bail. In asking for high bail, prosecutors generally stress the seriousness of the crime, the viciousness of the criminal act, and the strength of the evidence against the defendant.
