So, we have a 23 year old female client with no priors who has been incarcerated more than 60 days on a $100,000 cash bond for a C felony. Ridiculous bond, ridiculous charge, and a bond motion that's been pending for two months and set for hearing for a month.
We have our client's family take off work to attend the hearing, check casenet to make sure the hearing is still set (since you never know) and show up and . . . .
Seems the court has a trial that's been going all week and . . .
No one bothers to tell the parties that the bond hearing will have to be continued.
So, those people who have a real job that they have to take off for so they can go to court for a hearing set a month ago . . . miss a day of pay and will miss another when the new hearing is set.
The client? The rule that bond motions are to be determined promptly?
