A bond can never be denied.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Always

Answer: (B)

Bail decisions are not automatic guarantees. A defendant can be held without bond if the court determines there is a significant flight risk or risk to the community, or if the offense is very serious and there are aggravating factors like prior failures to appear or substantial criminal history. In such cases, bail is denied or set with strict conditions, and the defendant remains in custody pending trial. There are still options like release on recognizance or with conditions in other scenarios, but the key point is that a bond can be denied. Therefore, the statement is false.
