A bond amount listed as “0.00” typically means that no monetary bond is required for the defendant’s release from custody. In some cases, defendants may be released on their own recognizance (OR), meaning they are released from custody without having to pay bail or post a bond. This often occurs when the court determines that the defendant is not a flight risk or a danger to the community and is likely to appear for all scheduled court appearances without the need for monetary incentive.

When a bond amount is listed as “0.00,” it signifies that the defendant has been granted a release without having to provide any financial security. Regardless, the defendant is still required to comply with any conditions of release set by the court, such as attending all court hearings, refraining from criminal activity, and obeying any other specific instructions or restrictions imposed by the court.

Note that the decision to release a defendant on their recognizance or set a monetary bond amount is made by the judge based on factors such as the nature of the charges, the defendant’s criminal history, ties to the community, and other relevant considerations.
