What are the norms for someone who is picked up on a bench warrant for failure to appear on a criminal case? I know he stays in until Sup. Ct. meets again, but then what? Is it likely that he will be able to bond out? He is scheduled for another criminal case (unrelated to first case) ten days later. Will the ct automatically know this; do they check? I don't want him out, should I call and tell them?

Great answers, but what about my last question. Will they always look to see if he has another criminal case pending? Will it matter? Should I call and tell them?

most judges in Ga follow impose madatory time for failure to appear in court. Last time I was sitting in a court room the judge imposed 5 days on all missed court dates if you turned yourself in and 10 days if you had to be brought in by the police. this varies from judge to judge, some just simply remand the suspect pending trial and don't bother setting a number of days. if the judge imposes sentce then even if he gets his date the next day he still can't bond out till he serves the time the judge imposed on him for failure to appear.

Generally, if a bench warrant was issued because the person failed to appear, they won't get bail again. Failure to appear is usually by itself sufficient grounds to remand.
