SC: Accused Must Disclose Criminal History in Bail Pleas

The Supreme Court wants all high courts to think about making a new rule.

This rule would make people who are asking for bail tell the court if they've been in trouble with the law before.

This comes after a case where a judge was criticized for letting someone out on bail without knowing their criminal record.

The Supreme Court said the judge shouldn't have been criticized and pointed to existing rules in some states as a good example.
