In the discretion of the court, bail may be allowed in the following cases:
(1) After the defendant is found guilty or pleads guilty and before sentencing;
(2) While an appeal is pending from a judgment of conviction, an order withholding judgment or an order imposing sentence, except that a court shall not allow bail when the defendant has been sentenced to death or life imprisonment;
(3) Upon a charge of a violation of the terms of probation; and
(4) Upon a finding of a violation of the conditions of release pursuant to section 19-2919, Idaho Code.
