Scenario 2: At a bail hearing, the judge considers the release conditions of an adult defendant charged with assault and battery at a professional hockey game. The defendant has no prior criminal history, but was combative during the altercation and caused some damage to the arena and injury to the complaining witness. The defendant appears remorseful and embarrassed to be before the judge. The judge has the authority and discretion either to set bail, to release the defendant without bail on his promise to return, or to require the defendant to wear a GPS leg monitor. |

Scenario 3: A parolee who was previously convicted of a violent crime broke curfew by 30 minutes, which is considered a parole violation. This parole violation could cause the parolee to return to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence. When the parole agent inquired about the violation, the parolee stated that he had received an opportunity for overtime at his job, which caused him to break his curfew. The parole agent has tremendous discretion over the liberty of this parolee. However, the agent must also take public safety into consideration. The parole agent has the authority and discretion to report or ignore the violation. |
