Prohibits post-conviction bail for offenders convicted of aggravated offenses against minors.
Louisiana HB58 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to prohibit post-conviction bail for offenders convicted of aggravated offenses against minors. This law retains the right to bail before and after conviction but restricts it for certain serious crimes. Specifically, it disallows bail after conviction for any aggravated offense committed against a minor. The bill also retains the right to bail pending sentence if the maximum sentence is five years or less, unless the court believes release poses a danger to the community or there is a risk of flight.
