Crime Time: With Virginia Defense Attorneys

With so many recent changes with Criminal Justice Reform, one of the most important for everyone who comes into contact with the criminal justice system is bail reform. With the current trend to eliminate cash bond, the accused may now, more than ever, have an opportunity to get out of jail pretrial, maintain employment, support his or her family, and assist in preparing a meaningful defense. In this episode, Fairfax County Senior Assistant Public Defender Bryan Kennedy joins us talk about bail reform in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
