The bondsman benifiets by getting paid and the accused benifiets by getting out of jail to await trial.  The bail money goes to the bondsman only.  The bondsman has to pay the court if the accused doesnt show up for court.  Itr is up to the judge to set the amount of bond on the accused.  the judge also has the right to set a no bond on someone and that is where a bondsman cant get someone out of jail for no amount of money.  It is a business and that is how a bonding company makes money.  They guarantee a judge that a person will be in court and if they arent then the bonding company pays the court a high amount of money.  Bond for the accused is usuallyset at 10 percent of that amount.

Normally they are arrested and will see a judge, it is called an initial appearance.  The judge advise the defendant (accused person) of the charge.\n\nDepending on prior history, a defendant might be release to return to court later.  If the defendant has a history of not showing up to court (fail to appear), then the judge will likely have a bond amount set.  Your family/friend will have to post the bond for you to leave jail or you stay in jail until the case is completed.\n\nThe next event is the arraignment.  The defendant is required to enter a plea (guilty, not guilty/responsible, no contest).  If you are entering a not guilty plea, then it is set for a pre-trial conference.\n\nDuring the pre-trial conference, the prosecutor will offer a plea deal.  If rejected, then you will be set for trial.\n\nDuring the trial, if you are found guilty, you will get sentence at that time or a later date.

If she went through a bail bondsman, they usually charge 10% of the bail amount as their fee. So if bail was $10,000, she paid a bondsman $1,000. That money is gone. It was a fee to the bondsman, not the actual bail.\n\nIf she paid $10,000 to the court as bail, she will get it all back when his court proceedings are done.

Below is an excerpt from a wiki search, the link for the full info is in the source box below. I think you are being screwed and you should at the least speak to someone at the court. Good luck.\n\nBondsmen generally charge a fee of 10% of the total amount of the bail required in order to post a bond for the amount. This fee is not refundable and represents the bondsman's compensation for his or her services. As the practice of paying a 10% cash premium for a bond became widespread, some courts have recently instituted a practice of accepting 10% of the bond amount in cash, for example, by requiring a $10,000 bond or $1,000 in cash. In jurisdictions where the 10% cash alternative is available, the deposit is usually returned if the case is concluded without violation of the conditions of bail. This has the effect of giving the defendant or persons giving security for the defendant a substantial incentive to make the cash deposit rather than using a bail bondsman.\n\nFor large bail amounts, bondsmen can generally obtain security against the assets of the defendant or persons willing to assist the defendant. For example, for a $100,000 bond for a person who owns a home, the bondsman would charge $10,000 and take a mortgage against the house for the full penal sum of the bond.\n\nIf the defendant fails to appear in court, the bondsman is allowed by law and/or contractual arrangement to bring the defendant to the jurisdiction of the court in order to recover the money paid out under the bond, usually through the use of a bounty hunter. The bondsman is also allowed to sue the defendant for any money forfeited to the court should the defendant fail to appear.\n\nIn most jurisdictions, bondsmen have to be licensed to carry on business within the state. Several unusual organizations often provide bail bonds. For example, AAA (formerly the American Automobile Association) offers a bail bond service to its members who are jailed for ordinary traffic offenses to prevent law enforcement officials from threatening lengthy remand periods before trial if the alleged offender does not plead guilty at arraignment.\n\nFour states—Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, and Wisconsin—have completely banned commercial bail bonding, usually substituting the 10% cash deposit alternative described above. However, some of these states specifically allow AAA and similar organizations to continue providing bail bond services pursuant to insurance contracts or membership agreements.

You pay bail to be released.  If you show up to court, they give the bail money back.  If you run, they use it to pay a bounty hunter to find you.

It depends on how much money you have. I have seen far too many innocent people punished because of poor representation.  Good Luck!

oxy is right. That is also why they have an arraignment where you plead guilty or not guilty and then they set bail and what not to let you out. The reason for a bail is to pay for the cost of your upkeep but will also prevent heinous crime offenders from getting out by raising that amount by an ungodly multiple.

Hi Mitzi-\nI'm very familiar with PA law.  The theft is going to be based upon the amount involved.  I can almost guarantee that there will have to be restitution.  Sentencing depends on the person's past criminal history (if any), the facts of the case...if it was particularly heinous and the victims involved, etc. and the amount of cash or items taken.

Depending on the crime, she may be entitled to victims of crimes compensation. This will vary according to the jurisdiction with some governments paying for counselling. Any pay received while incarcerated may go towards her depending on the laws but this may not be terribly much. She may be able to sue if a third party contributed to your ex-partner's actions although you might need to speak to a lawyer. \n\nI hope that you and your daughter's life improves.

No you will not get your money back if you are found not guilty. this is due to the fact that it is not mandatory for you to pay this. The reason people post bond is so that way they can leave the jail.

ok that's a little better. well, criminal court is a state court, as opposed to city court, county court or federal court, and as you know, they try criminal cases. the process usually goes like this: someone commits an offense or is accused of one, and they are brought before the court to answer to the charges, or stand responsible. he is given a chance at a preliminary hearing, to tell his side of the story ( which is called his defense.) after the police tell their side, too, the judge hears a recommendation from the prosecuting attorney on whether there is enough evidence to hold the offender over for trial. if yes, the defendant is granted a bail amount in most cases, and he may pay a bondsman to bail him out until the time of the trial. at the trial, there is the guilt phase, and then the punishment phase. during the guilt phase, the defendant and his/her attorney answer to the charges, and do their best to keep the offender's actions seen in a good light so that the jury will believe he's innocent. after the trial, the punishment phase dtermines to what degree the offender will be punished. either probation, community service,or prison.how else can I help?

Sure, you could file a civil suit.  If they've been convicted of the crime, you stand a better chance of winning the civil suit.
