  "question": "Can I be released before trial, and how is bail set?",
  "answer": "At arraignment, the judge sets bail based on offense severity, criminal history, and risk factors. For misdemeanors, OR (Own Recognizance) release is possible. Felony cases may require posting bail. An attorney can advocate for lower bail or OR release and strategize early defense.brownsteinlawgroup+1​"
