It's true that not all defendants are eligible for a bail bond. In certain counties the bail schedule deems such cases as MURDER - with special circumstance as in-eligible / NOT BAILABLE.

This type of practice is common in most courts and often used when a defendant shows a consistent disregard for the court schedule.
