Re: bail price--can be reduced

Yes, it is legal to have a bond set at $60,000 for a class b misdemeanor.

Its not normal for them to be this high but judges have discretion in setting bail.

This individual needs an attorney to ask for a bond reduction because bail should not be set so high that it operates as a vehicle of oppression.
