Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is laying out a case for a proposed overhaul of the state’s current bail system.

Yost says he supports an Ohio House Republican proposal to amend the state’s constitution on how a bond is determined.

Yost said the current system sets bail by the severity of the crime, and the amendment would allow judges to raise the amount based on a risk to the public if the accused posted bond.

Yost said the proposal would have judges consider the suspect’s criminal record, risk of flight, and the seriousness of the offense.
