DUI homicide bail differences between states

Posted on April 15, 2009 by Dan Jaffe

There have been a wide range of bail amounts in DUI related homicides this month. Here's a quote about one in a Florida DUI homicide case:

Judge sets $75,000 bail for suspect in double-fatal DUI: "Randy Archiquette, the suspect in two crashes that killed two women last night, could be free if he posts $75,000 bail.

Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Walter Heinrich set bail for Archiquette, of 12610 Bramfield Drive in Riverview, during his first court appearance this morning.

Archiquette, left, is charged with two counts of DUI manslaughter, one charge of vehicular homicide with leaving the scene, and one charge of vehicular homicide."

Compare that to Rhode Island at $25k and California at $2 million and we can see that DUI homicide bail amounts are all over the map.
