3. Which of the following is not a reason for denying bail?

An accused usually receives bail unless he or she is found to be a dangerous offender, to have no ties to the community, or to have been previously charged with contempt of court.

The number of jurors can go as low as 10, but in the cases where more jurors become absent, the entire new jury has to be selected.
