Description
Appeal of bail decision by attorney for the Commonwealth. Provides that if a judicial officer (including a magistrate) grants bail to an accused that is deemed inadequate or unreasonable by the attorney for the Commonwealth, the attorney for the Commonwealth may appeal to the court in which the case is pending when bail was granted by a magistrate or, when granted by a court, to the next higher court. Current law limits such appeals to appeals of a court decision only, and only upon objection in court by the attorney for the Commonwealth. Read the Bill »
