Often, after a mistrial, the defense will make a motion or renew a motion for bond or for reduction of bond.

What is the difference between a mistrial and a request for a new trial?
A mistrial occurs before the end of the trial, usually caused by improper responses from a witness, improper questions from an attorney or some statement or action in the presence of the jury that prejudices the jury. A mistrial also occurs if the jury is unable to reach a verdict. If a judge declares a mistrial then the trial is finished. A new trial with a new jury usually follows at a later date. A motion for a new trial may be filed by a defense attorney after a defendant has been found guilty at the completion of the original trial. The motion for a new trial is usually based on a defense attorney's perception of an error committed by the judge in the original trial.
