A:
Based on the details provided, it seems unlikely that the suspect would be released on bail given their criminal history and the severity of the current charges. Here are a few key factors:
1. Previous strike: The suspect has a prior conviction for a serious or violent felony (PC1170.12), which means they are subject to California's "Three Strikes" law. This prior strike may make it more difficult for them to be granted bail.
2. Current charges: The suspect is facing multiple serious charges, including criminal threats (PC422(a)), injuring a spouse or cohabitant (PC273.5(a)), and being a felon in possession of a firearm (PC29800(a)(1)). These charges, especially the firearm possession, are likely to be viewed as a danger to public safety.
3. Offense while on bail (PC12022.1): The suspect allegedly committed some of these offenses while already out on bail or own recognizance for a previous offense. This may be seen as evidence that they are not likely to comply with conditions of release.
Given these factors, it is probable that a judge would consider the suspect a flight risk and a danger to the community, making release on bail unlikely. However, the final decision on bail will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the discretion of the judge at the bail hearing.
It's important to note that the relationship between the suspect and your fiancé's sister is not likely to be a significant factor in the bail determination, as the court will primarily focus on the defendant's criminal history and the nature of the current charges.
