Practice question
An accused is charged with the Section 3 form in which an occupant was killed during carnapping. The prosecutor requests denial of bail solely because the charge has that label, without establishing that the evidence of guilt is strong. What statutory qualification must still be applied?
- No qualification; the accusation alone is always enough.
- The evidence-of-guilt-is-strong condition must be determined under the governing bail process.
- The vehicle's age alone controls bail.
- The victim's family may conclusively decide bail.
- Payment of a private repair bill automatically ends the case.
