Sample motions for release or modification of bail and supporting affidavits

On Point is constantly updating the “resources for defenders during the pandemic” on its homepage. We’ve recently added: (1) a Motion for Modification of Bail requesting a client’s release due to her health condition and the pandemic; (2) a Motion for Stay of Sentence due to the pandemic; and (3) six affidavits from epidemiologists and specialists in health at correctional facilities attesting to the high risk of illness for incarcerated people.  These may be used to support bond, sentence modification, and stay motions.
