Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.
If violators cannot make bail, they must remain in jail and the A&P hearing will take place when court next convenes. If the violator is not released at the A&P hearing, a trial must be held within 48 hours.
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
Virginia Code Section 19.2-120 states that a person pending a trial or hearing, shall be admitted to bail, unless there is reason to believe: They will not appear for trial. They are an unreasonable danger to himself/ herself. They would constitute an unreasonable danger to the public.
Types of Bail in Virginia Criminal Cases However, if the magistrate does not set bond, then you will remain in jail either until released after trial or sentencing or until your defense attorney files a motion in court. There are three types of bail set in Virginia criminal cases: Recognizance.
The defendant can post their own bail or ask a family member or friend to post it. If the defendant uses a bond company, the company may require the defendant to have a co-signer (someone who will help the company find the defendant should they fail to appear).
Held without bail IS being sent to/kept in prison. Depending on the judge's review of issues such as flight risk and risk to the public, an indicted person can be held until the conclusion of the trial process (including appeals). This can in extreme cases be a year or more.
When a judge announces no bond, the defendant isn't eligible for release from county jail through bail as the judge has not set a bail amount. Instead, the arrested person has to remain in custody until the case concludes or a judge potentially sets bail at a later hearing.
When arrested, the court sets a bail amount based on the crime's severity, your criminal history, and your flight risk. If you can't afford bail, you stay in jail until your court date. The duration of jail time varies.
