State v. Nazario Ventura & State v. Leidy Granados

8-5-08 (A-45-07) & (A-74-07)

A motion for remission of forfeited bail is assessed in a fact-sensitive manner, weighing a multitude of factors outlined in State v. Hyers and its progeny. A crucial factor in every bail remission case is whether the defendant remains a fugitive. In each of these cases, there was no abuse of discretion in thedenial of the separate motions to remit the forfeited bail.
