SENTENCING—ARTICLE 7, SECTION 4 As happens every year, Indiana appellate courts exercised their authority under article 7 to review and revise criminal sentences. The trial court denied her motion to reduce bail or allow her to post a ten percent cash bond or surety.150 The court of appeals pointed out that article 1, section 16, forbids excessive bail.151 The court reviewed the factors in Indiana Code section 35-33-8-4 that trial courts are to weigh in setting bail.152 It stated that the defendant has the burden to show that bail is excessive, but a defendant need not show changed circumstances to obtain reduced bail.153 The court stated that several of the statutory factors, including her ties to the community, her appearance at court hearings connected to prior prosecutions, and her lack of funds, weighed in favor of reduced bail.154 The court noted, however, that she faced lengthy imprisonment if convicted, weighing against low bail.155 The court of appeals concluded that the facts justified the $25,000 total bail set for Sneed but that by denying her the option of surety bond the trial court effectively condemned her to imprisonment before trial because of her lack of funds.156 The court found that the trial court abused its discretion when it denied the option of a surety bond and remanded for further proceedings.157 IX.	cache/inlawrev-18015.pdf	txt/inlawrev-18015.txt
