You will be told the next time you come to court what your sentence will be, even though you will not be sentenced until you come again. My question is supose he finds out that he will be sentenced to jail and commits another crime. Will I lose the bail money that I put up for him? I don't know why they don't wait until he is sentenced and then just take him to jail. I won't have to pay all the bail money in that case, right?

you shouldnt. the guy is showing up for court, correct? i belive the bail money is only lost if he does not show up for court. but if he is in jail for this next offense, money should be returned because he is incarcerated and therefore, not out on bail and WILL show up to court, wether he likes it or not...

You won't lose your bail money for him committing another crime, bail only ensures his presence in court. NOW, if he fails to show up in court for sentencing, THEN you will loose the money you posted for bail.
Also, the victim of his latest crime MIGHT sue you! You got him out--he did harm to the victim--your fault. That might be a heck of a lot more than the bail money you posted.

I am pretty sure that the only way that you will loose your bail money is if he does not appear for his court hearing. If I was you I would call and ask them strait out the very same question you have posted here. At least you will hear it from the horses mouth and you will know where you stand.

Would he skip bail? If he does you are in debt. Never bet on an unsure thing.

AS long as he shows up for his trial, you don't forfit bond. If you are unsure, have his bail revoked
