Typically after sentencing, the case is done. In some cases, the defendant may choose to appeal the judge or jury's decision, or even the sentence. There are strict deadlines for appealing. After a defendant serves a sentence, in some cases, they may be able to "clean their record".
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation. When someone is arrested, they have a first appearance soon after.
No, bail is for people awaiting sentencing. Until that time you are innocent and bail is just a way to guarantee that you will go to court. After sentencing you are being detained as punishment and you must complete your sentence.
You cannot bail out anyone who has been sentenced to prison. Bail is only for pre-sentencing proceedings. Once sentenced to incarceration bail is revoked, and the defendant is taken into custody.
You can negotiate for lower criminal penalties during a plea negotiation. Your attorney can argue for a reduced sentence during the sentencing hearing. After conviction, you can file a motion to reconsider your sentence or get an early release with good behavior.
Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
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.
Even if you have been sentenced for a crime, you may be able to post bail and get out of custody during the course of your appeal. Post-conviction bail is not available in all states because it is not a constitutional right.
