MOTION TO REDUCE BAIL
NOW COMES DEFENDANT by his attorney, SAMUEL PARTIDA, JR., pursuant to
725 ILCS 5/110-6(a), moves this Honorable Court to enter an order reducing Defendant’s bail.
In support consider:
1. That Defendant’s bail in this matter is set at $90,000 (10%) to apply. It is not
possible for Defendant or his family to meet the required bail.
2. Defendant is 29 years old and has resided in Kane County for his entire life.
3. If Defendant is released on a reasonable bail, Defendant will live with his
family.
4. Defendant currently resides at 123 Main Street, Common Town, IL, where
Defendant has lived for 9 years. If released upon reasonable bail, Defendant
would remain within the jurisdiction of this Court at the above address and
would appear in court each and every time so ordered.
5. Defendant is married and has provided for his spouse and 3 children for 10
years. Defendant’s youngest child is 3 years of age and has been diagnosed
with epilepsy. If Defendant remains in custody Defendant will lose
Defendant’s employment, and Defendant’s family would be without financial
and medical support.
6. Defendant has been employed at Big Company, Inc. for a period of 8 years
where Defendant works as a manager and has been steadily and reliably
employed.
7. Defendant has never forfeited a bond.
8. Defendant assures the Court that Defendant will provide the Court, and
attorney, with a current address at all times while this case is pending, so that
notices may be sent to Defendant.
File Stamp
23. Page 2 of 3
9. The amount of bail was determined without consideration of past criminal acts
or conduct of the Defendant, who has no record of any convictions, felony or
misdemeanor, nor any arrests or convictions for violent behavior.
10. Bail has been set in this cause in an amount that is excessive in that Defendant
lacks the funds or means to meet the financial requirements of the set bail
without due regard for the provisions of 725 ILCS 5/110-2.
11. Immediately following the incident, Defendant voluntarily surrendered to the
police and did not flee nor attempt to hide from authorities. The present case
does not involve an offense for which a sentence of life imprisonment or death
penalty is sought by the State should Defendant be convicted of the offense
for which he is presently charged.
12. The Offense with which the Defendant is charged provides for the possibility
for probation, if Defendant were found guilty at trial.
13. 725 ILCS 5/110-5(b) provides that the amount of bail will be:
(a) sufficient to assure compliance with the conditions set forth in the
bail bond;
(b) not oppressive; and
(c) considerate of the financial ability of the accused.
14. The Defendant, being a person of limited income, could not afford a forfeiture
of any realty or cash deposited with the Clerk of this Court without irreparably
damaging and endangering the future financial stability of himself and his
family.
15. Under the Illinois bail provisions, the determination of the amount of bail and
conditions of release require the court to take into account the nature and
circumstances of the offense charged, the condition of the victim, the
likelihood of filing of a greater charge, the weight of the evidence against the
defendant, the defendant’s family ties, employment, financial resources,
character, past conduct, length of residence in the community, record of
convictions, flight to avoid arrest or prosecution, escape or attempted escape
to avoid arrest, or any record of a failure to appear at court proceedings. 725
ILCS 5/110-5.
16. The bail previously set is far beyond the financial means of Defendant and his
family.
24. Page 3 of 3
17. The amount of bail previously set is not commensurate with the nature of the
offense charged in that that the charges involved do not include any violence
or danger of violence to any person or person, nor to their property, nor do the
police reports or the complaint mention any violence to any person or persons
or to their property.
18. By application of these standards to the present case, it is submitted that the
present bond is excessive and unreasonable. Nothing in the background,
history, or character of the defendant, nor the circumstances of his arrest or
the charged crime, suggest that Defendant must be incarcerated to ensure the
safety of the community. The defendant is charged with forgery. There are no
indications of any violent tendencies in his character and background. From
the information provided at the initial bail hearing, it was determined that the
offense alleged did not involve any acts of violence.
19. There are other factors that favor a substantial reduction in bail in this case.
The defendant has strong family ties, not only to his parents and his brothers,
but also to his own children and spouse. If released on bail, the defendant will
be able to return to his place of employment and continue working while his
case is pending. Additionally, Defendant’s three-year-old child suffers from
epilepsy and requires consistent medical appointments and medication.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court enter an order reducing
bail to a reasonable amount, within the financial ability of Defendant and his family.

defendant with the clerk, after the clerk has first deducted all court costs.”

the conditions of the bail bond the court…shall enter an order declaring the
bail to be forfeited…If the accused does not appear and surrender…within 30
days of the forfeiture…the court shall enter judgment for the State…”.

more general…In the context of this case, section 115-4.1(a) is considerably
more specific than section 110-7(h)…In the present instance, therefore,
section 115-4.1(a) being more specific than section 110-7(h) is controlling
here.” People v. Maya, 457 N.E.2d 501, 503-04, 119 Ill.App.3d 961 (1st Dist.
1983).
