Why You Need to be Aware of Wyoming Laws and Statutes
Every defendant has rights but many aren’t aware of what they are. Many people often think that because they have been arrested or are still sitting in jail that nothing can be done to protect them or help remove them from this unfortunate circumstance. That isn’t always true. The state of Wyoming has certain laws as well as the U.S. Constitution that protect individuals, even those who have allegedly committed an offense.
To give you some background on one of these laws, below is a brief explanation of it. When you elect to hire a Wyoming defense lawyer, they will ensure this law is abided by throughout the course of this matter.
Bail
Bail is something that is provided by a judge and gives someone who is in custody the chance to be set free until it is time for them to attend their court hearing. In many cases, bail isn’t always provided but here’s where having a lawyer working on your defense helps. Some defense attorneys have good working relationships with these judges and can help sway their decision as to whether they provide bail or not. And just because you may be under the impression that your loved one should receive it, not always will a judge grant it.
According to Statute § 7-10-101, a person who is arrested for a crime that is not punishable by death may be admitted to bail. A person who has been arrested for an offense that is punishable by death can still be granted bail at the discretion of the authorized judicial officer, however, if there is valid proof indicating they are guilty, they may not be permitted to bail.
Something to keep in mind is that if your family member isn’t granted bail, they will be required to remain in jail until their court hearing arrives. This can sometimes take a few days or even a few weeks.
