QUEENS, N.Y., March 18, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bail is the support for "the presumption of innocence." It is also a constitutional entitlement under certain conditions. Learn more about this constitutional right as bail bondsman and author Joseph Best elucidates these procedures and laws in the comprehensive Bail of New York: Bail Enforcement Manual.
The accused are still "innocent until proven guilty" at the judicial courts, thus, they can be released from jail after their initial arrest by a judicial officer but only after a carefully thought of decision -- the defendant's risk of flight. Money bond or bail is imposed on the defendant to ensure his or her return appearance in court. In this well-explained book, the author carefully discusses the ins-and-outs of bail -- detailing bounty hunting, history of bail, the civil and criminal law, insurance and surety, bail-enforcement business, felony and misdemeanor crimes, bondsman's responsibilities, the courts and jurisdiction, and more. He focuses on the New York Bail Law with an exhaustive discussion of terms, definitions, policies, and laws.
Insightful and easily comprehensible, this book presents a good background and overview of the New York law and the bail system. With an in-depth review with well-documented information and samples, Bail of New York: Bail Enforcement Manual is an excellent resource that will help you be aware of your constitutional rights.
Bail of New York: Bail Enforcement Manual will be featured in the 2009 New York State Reading Association Regional Book Exhibit at Saratoga Springs, New York from March 29-April 1, 2009.
