Where is the prosecutor in this process? Here in Indianapolis,at least, the prosecutor is present at bail bond hearings with a probable cause statement and a criminal history. I assume investigating officers are encouraged to call, email or instant message prosecutors with additional information. Here in Indy, they have access to phones and computers. Perhaps after the lacrosse team fiasco Durham has just done away with prosecutors.

Bond hearings in Virginia are attended by bondsmen (if we can find out about them), the defendants lawyer (who has to request the hearing), the prosecuting attorney, the judge and after all facts in the case have been presented and the prosecuting attorney has argued for "NO BOND" or a "HIGHER BOND".... and where I come from PA's have a lot of pull.... it is a toss up most of the time.... reduced bonds of course are issued but around here... bonds are not that high anyway.... in fact, orders to magistrates have come down the line... to issue lower bonds so release is a bit easier.... overcrowding and all that..................

Hmmmm . . . There is a Bond for everything here. If there is a question about something they call the Prosecutor and he / she sets the Bond.
The only "Bond Hearings" here are the ones when a person does not bond out, but rather remains in Jail til a regularly scheduled court day. When he / she appears (in orange) and if they have an attorney that attorney asks for a Bond reduction and the Judge decides
