Answer 1

you can plead your case, but the law will decide what they want to do and you will have to abide by it... sorry

Answer 2

Depends.... in most states bail is set at a certain amount and you have to pay a bailbondsman 10% of that amount to promise the court that they will pay the full amount if you don't show. So if that was your cas the bail was $2600. I was thinking that was the case as $260 doesn't sound right.

Its kind of like when you see a guy on TV gets a 1 million bond. He uses his house or whatnot to ensure his return and pays 10%. The court usually does not handle that....... think DAWG the bounty hunter. If you used a bailbondsman you don't get that money back as they provided a service.

But if you possibly live somewhere where the rules are different I would imagine..... but I am not totally sure, that once you showed in court and where found not guilty you would get the money back. Minus court costs of course.

If you used a bondsman you have your answer. If not call the jail or courthouse and someone can tell you.

Answer 3

The purpose of a bail bond is to assure the defendant's appearance at trial. If a defendant goes to trial and is found not guilty, the bond is discharged at that time. If a person pleads guilty, the bond is discharged at the time of sentencing.

If you posted bond directly with the court, you will get your money back when one of the above occurs.

If you used a bail bondsman to make the bail, it is likely that you only gave the bail bondsman a percentage of the bond. If this is the case, you won't get any money back. Bail bondsmen charge a percentage of the bond, usually ten to twenty percent, as a premium for making the full amount of the bond with the court. The premium is the bailbondsman's fee.

With large bonds, bailbondsmen also require collateral, such as the title to a car or house. When the bond is discharged, the bailbondsman gives the collateral back, but again, retains the premium as his fee.

Depending on the type of case, it can be months or more before a case is resolved. You can check with the clerk of the court where the case is pending to find out when the case has been terminated and the bond discharged. When an order has been entered discharging the bond, that's when you can get your money back.

Answer 4

Whether guilty or innocent, you get your bail money back. Bail is insurance that the accused shows up at the trial.

If found guilty, they will ask if the prisoner wants the bail applied to any fines. Be sure the person turns that down and gets the bail back to you.

Answer 5

If she is totally innocent then you will get the bail money back. Our criminal justice system is not perfect and sometimes mistakes are made. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do but finish what has already started. You were lucky it was only $260 it could have been much worse. Good Luck

Answer 6

Gather some of your friends and picket the courthouse. Signs might read something like this:

we know som1 she is inosint nd pay bail its not juse give money back cuz she inosint

That should work.

Answer 7

Whether or not she is found guilty, when she shows up for her court appearance(s) her money is refunded. It does not matter if she is found guilty. If she doesn't show up, called skipping bail, her money is forfeited. Good luck in her defense.
