When Must a Noticed Bail Hearing Be in Open Court?

A judge must hold a bail hearing in open court when there are offenses relating to domestic violence, which includes a broad range of crimes wherein the victim’s relationship to the defendant is generally familial in nature. The hearing itself may not proceed unless notice to the victim is given to be present to be heard on public safety issues.
