Did it to himself. Has to figure it out on his own. Once he gets himself out of it you can hire him back when you need him. My :2cents:

I'm not sure but I think in our neck of the woods, if you pay the "Bondsman" the $225
then he is the one to come up with the $1500 if the guy skips.

No, not now, not ever. If you can do the crime, you can do the time.

Yeah. I've given him work several times and I pay more than he would make any where else by far. I guess you can't fix stupid. Just a shame though, he's a bright articulate kid who just won't get his s$%t straight.

I would much rather advance him the $225 and let him go his own bail (if that is allowed) and let him be liable if he skips out. I would expect him to act in accordance with his track record and leave you swinging in the wind with the remaining balance on the bail.

Gotrocks: but the bondsman comes back to the one that paid the bond to get reimbursed. You have to sign a contract stating that you are liable if the defendant doesn't show.

Good thought, 2Lane.

2lane: wish it worked out that way. A person with assets has to bail out and be on the hook for the remainder . He has nothing literally.

If he bonds out then he will be coming back for help on attorney's fees. In some places you won't get a public defender if you bond out.
Talk to the prosecutor about getting him out on an OR, with the promise you will give him regular work-if you want to help him. Sounds like he needs professional counseling, not preaching.

I raised 4 boys (now men) I think I have some experience in these matters. I would send him a prisoners Bible and let his butt sit in there. If you get him out to quick he won't remember his ordeal/experience. Theres nothing wrong in going to jail, but there is something wrong in going for wrong reason ! Might sound like harsh advise. Just my :2cents:
