Would you put up a 15,000.00 to get your son out of Jail, if you knew he was quilty, and he may run?

The purpose of bond is to guarantee that the criminal defendant will be available for trial. If a person is a "flight risk", then you are putting your money at risk. Guilty people have a right to be bonded prior to trial. However, as for me, if that guilty person fled while on bond, he is making me forfeit the bond.

It really doesn't matter if I think or know that he is guilty, it is what the jury thinks. As far as the bail bond goes, I suppose it would depend on how my kid was, if he were a punk and always in trouble, probably not, if this were his first offense then I would probably bail him out but I would also make damn sure he showed up for court and I would get him a good attorney.

The best way to 'help' your son would be to just be there for him. This would be a very hard time for parents and for the offender. A parent would not be helping him by putting up surety, if the offender runs, they may also themselves be charged with aiding and abetting.

No, I wouldn't bail him out. I would leave his sorry butt in there if he was guilty. Some people only learn the hard way and hopefully spending some time in jail would straighten him out.

No. It sounds cold, but when it comes down to it, blood may be thicker than water, but justice is thicker than all of them. =P
