The answer would be A. Have the Defendant pay a higher bail amount... Judges I don't believe can take away a person right of bail because of the "innocent until proven Guilty". They won't have the defendant followed by the police 24/7 but they may have them monitored. And judges CANNOT take away a person right to a trial.
