Federal Bail Bonds

Differences Between State & Federal Bail Bonds

Federal or interstate crimes call for a federal bail bond. For a state crime, a standard bail amount will often be set and the defendant can be out of jail before the first hearing. For a federal crime, however, the judge will often determine the amount of bail at the first hearing, meaning that the defendant may have to stay in jail until the judge makes a determination. In addition, the judge may require that the suspect and his or her family show that they have legitimate collateral and assets to pay the bond at a "Nebbia" hearing.

Nebbia Hearings (1275 Bail Sufficiency Hearing)

At the Nebbia hearing, the bail defendant must be able to prove the origin of the money or collateral used to secure the bond. The federal courts want to make sure that the assets were not obtained through illegal means.

To demonstrate this, a defendant may use tax returns, banking records, accounting documents, business records, and witness testimony. The defendant will not be able to get out of jail until this hearing is complete, if it has been issued.
