Palabra final: Deuteronomio 1:17 records Moses instructing Israel's newly appointed judges in the wilderness: 'No hagáis acepción de personas en el juicio; así al pequeño como al grande oiréis.' Written as Israel organized its courts, the command targeted judges tempted to favor the powerful and wave off the poor. It still describes what a bond hearing should look like. A secured bond set without regard to what someone can actually pay turns pretrial detention into a tax on being poor, not a measure of risk. G.S. 15A-534 already says conditions should be no more restrictive than necessary. That only means something if someone insists on it at the hearing. Esté alerta. Esté documentado. Esté listo. If someone you know was arrested in Dunn or anywhere in Harnett County, forward this to them tonight, especially the cousin who thinks a court date a few weeks out means there is no rush. There is. William J. Vasquez's office handles criminal defense matters before the Harnett County Courthouse. Contingency fees do not apply to criminal defense as a matter of professional ethics, not firm preference; ask directly about consultation scheduling and fees for the specific charge.
