¶ 10. Additionally, the court determined in the exercise of its discretion not to grant defendant bail. Falzo, 2009 VT 22, ¶ 6, 185 Vt. 616, 969 A.2d 694 ("A trial judge has the discretion to allow bail even where, pursuant to 13 V.S.A. § 7553, a defendant is not entitled to it."). In reaching this conclusion, the court examined the factors listed under 13 V.S.A. § 7554(b). In the exercise of its discretion, "a trial court may look to the factors listed in 13 V.S.A. § 7554(b) to decide whether a defendant should be granted bail regardless of the presumption of incarceration." State v. Henault, 2017 VT 19, ¶ 4, --- Vt. ----, 167 A.3d 892 (mem.) (applying the factors listed in 13 V.S.A. § 7554(b) to a 13 V.S.A. § 7553 appeal, even though the text of the section only addresses appeals of conditions of release). These factors include:
the nature and circumstances of the offense charged, the weight of the evidence against the accused, the accused's family ties, employment, financial resources, character and mental condition, the length of residence in the community, record of convictions, and record of appearance at court proceedings or of flight to avoid prosecution or failure to appear at court proceedings.
Id.; 13 V.S.A. § 7554(b).
¶ 11. Here, the judge considered the seriousness of the numerous charges against defendant across all four dockets, the charges that defendant violated outstanding protective orders, the obstruction-of-justice charge, the fact that five of the charges involved potential life imprisonment, and defendant's family ties. Based on these factors, the court denied bail. The judge stated:
[W]e're now looking at a total of twenty-one charges, four or five punishable by life in prison and several of which involve violations of outstanding court orders and what appears to be-at least, if you accept the allegations as true-an attempt to persuade his daughter to recant by way of offering her cash, his leaving the jurisdiction, and taking other extreme measures and trying to use her mother to persuade her to do that on the ground that this was all going to ruin the family economically.
The judge did not credit defendant's family ties as sufficient to bind him to the community and appear in court. The various sexual allegations by defendant's daughter, alongside defendant's attempts to manipulate K.O. and her mother into recanting these allegations by applying financial pressure, "undercut the question of family ties." Prior to K.O.'s allegations, defendant lived with K.O. and her mother, his former stepdaughter. Following the charges, defendant's wife filed for an annulment of their marriage. Defendant is no longer permitted to have contact with K.O. and has limited contact with other family members. These factors further support the court's concern regarding defendant's nonappearance in court due to the change in family circumstances. Due to the nature and severity of the charges, the additional charges brought against the defendant, and the sudden change in defendant's family dynamics, the court denied bail. While the trial court could have provided a more *768detailed analysis of the 13 V.S.A. § 7554(b) factors, its discussion of the multiple significant factors that were central to its analysis was sufficient in this case, and we therefore affirm.
¶ 12. Regarding the additional charges brought before the trial court at the October 26 hearing, we reverse and remand the court's denial of bail in Dockets 362 and 363. Looking to the proceedings below, the court's order to hold defendant without bail in these dockets, based on its decision to grant the hold-without-bail order in Docket 357, was error. The bail order in these two dockets must be reversed because: (1) these dockets contain no charges carrying potential penalties of life imprisonment; (2) the State has not clearly asked for the court to hold defendant without bail in either of these dockets pursuant to 13 V.S.A. § 7553a ; and (3) the court has not made the required findings under 13 V.S.A. § 7553a. Because Docket 364 contains charges punishable by potential life imprisonment, the hold-without-bail analysis employed in Docket 357 is equally applicable in this docket. Applying that analysis, we agree the evidence of guilt is great in that docket as well. Accordingly, we affirm the hold-without-bail orders in Dockets 357 and 364, and we reverse and remand in Dockets 362 and 363 for determination of bail in those dockets.3
The bail orders in Docket Nos. 357-10-17 Lecr and 364-10-17 Lecr are affirmed. The orders pertaining to Docket Nos. 362-10-17 Lecr and 363-10-17 Lecr are reversed and remanded.
