Perhaps I could be wrong, but isn't bail returned when one successfully shows up in court until the matter is adjudicated regardless of the outcome? The only way bail is forfeited is when the defendant skips out on returning to court.
- defen 11y agoIf he used a bail bondsman there is typically a 10% fee (e.g. bail is $25,000; you pay the bondsman $2,500 and get bailed out)
- samstave 11y agoThe bail was $25,000 - I don't have that in cash. I had to get a bond, and pay out of pocket $2,500. Also, they keep bail, assuming I had paid it in cash in full, for "a year and a day" The cops retain the "right" to charge you for 1 year.
