A defendant awaiting judgment of conviction and 1 4 sentencing following either a plea or verdict of guilty of a 1 5 class "A" felony, murder, any class "B" felony included in 1 6 section 707.6A, felonious assault, felonious child 1 7 endangerment, sexual abuse in the second degree, sexual abuse 1 8 in the third degree, kidnapping, robbery in the first degree, 1 9 arson in the first degree, or burglary in the first degree, 1 10 any felony included in section 708.11, subsection 3, or any 1 11 felony included in section 124.401, subsection 1, paragraph 1 12 "a". 1 13 2. A defendant appealing a conviction of a class "A" 1 14 felony, murder, any class "B" felony included in section 1 15 707.6A, felonious assault, felonious child endangerment, 1 16 sexual abuse in the second degree, sexual abuse in the third 1 17 degree, kidnapping, robbery in the first degree, arson in the 1 18 first degree, or burglary in the first degree, any felony 1 19 included in section 708.11, subsection 3, or any felony 1 20 included in section 124.401, subsection 1, paragraph "a", or a 1 21 violation of section 124.401, subsection 1, paragraph "b". 1 22 EXPLANATION 1 23 This bill restricts a person's ability to post a bond upon 1 24 a conviction of or when appealing any felony stalking charge. 1 25 The bill requires that a person who pleads to or is convicted 1 26 at trial of any felony stalking charge remain in jail without 1 27 bond pending sentencing. The bill also requires any person 1 28 sentenced to prison for felony stalking to remain in prison 1 29 without the ability to post an appeal bond pending the final 1 30 decision by a reviewing court. 1 31 Current law generally permits a person awaiting sentencing 1 32 after a plea of guilty or a conviction at trial to post bond 1 33 and remain out of jail until a sentence has been imposed. If 1 34 the person is sentenced to jail or prison, and appeals the 1 35 case, current law ordinarily allows a person to post an appeal 2 1 bond and remain free pending the final decision by the 2 2 reviewing court on appeal. 2 3 LSB 1265DP 78 2 4 jm/gg/8.1
