INTRODUCTION The Constitutions of the United States and of Virginia do not guarantee a defendant the right to bail in criminal cases. The only mention of bail in the Constitution of the United States occurs in Amendment VIII: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
