My brother was denied bond/home monitoring in pre-trial. What others avenues do we have left available to try to get him out?

His Kidney is failing currently operating at less than 40% and we are trying to get him on the donor list. Also on the grounds that the prosecutors and district attorney denied him bond and home monitoring because they claimed he absconded once before which is false. He was in CUSTODY IN ANOTHER COUNTY for 8 months where he turned himself in as soon as his probation officer texted him to let him know that he had a warrant. His case has been a revolving door of public defenders who have apparently little knowledge and are not cross referencing info since the case involves 2 counties.

ANSWER: With any luck, seasoned private criminal counsel might be able to get him humanitarian relief or bond modification from the court, simply by telling your same story, but also by including all of the proper documentation of your claims from the official records of the jail, the court and notes from his medical providers. In these days of electronic court appearances, this should be easier than ever, avoiding the need for personal appearances in each county. Failing that, formal motions to modify bonds or sentences in each county would be counsel's next avenue for achieving justice for your brother. In multi-county matters like this, your scenario here has been all too common for many years.
