Criminal Lawyer in Cornwall to do a Bail Hearing

Often when someone is arrested and charged with an offence in Cornwall, the police release them right away. However sometimes, due to the seriousness of the charge, the circumstances of the alleged offender, or other factors, the person is held in jail before dealing with their charge. If this happens, the person has a right to a special hearing known as a bail hearing or “show cause” hearing. At this hearing the prosecutor will have to “show cause” (give a reason) why the person should be kept in jail. Having a Criminal Lawyer from Cornwall can help argue against this and get you or your loved one out of jail.

In some special cases, the onus is reversed and the person in custody will need to show why they should be released. Once again having a Criminal Lawyer can be of great assistance.

If a bail hearing is not successful for the accused person there is always the option of a Bail Review to the Superior Court of Justice. Due to the technical legal nature of this type of proceeding it is once again wise to find a Criminal Lawyer in Cornwall.
