Even though a bond is not meant to be punitive, the method required to secure the bond is often punitive in nature. If the judge requires the bond be secured by “cash’, in this case the “accused’ would be required to give a bondsman $2,500.00 cash plus administrative fees to secure the bond on his behalf. It doesn’t matter if the “accused” is found innocent, guilty or even if the prosecuting attorney or judge throws the case out prior to trial due to lack of evidence, that $2500 is not returned to the “accused”.

Not a very fair process in my opinion.

BTW, a judge can also permit bond to be secured merely by signature, which means the “accused” would be released on bond with merely a signature promising to return for trial. In this case the “accused” would only be required to pay the $25,000 if he didn’t show up for trial. A much fairer but not often used method of bond IMO.

Bonds are to secure a person’s attendance at trial and in limited circumstances to protect the public at large. They are not supposed to be punitive. That’s what trials and sentences are for.

So I wonder if the 10/20/life is gonna come into play here? It seems like here lately it doesn’t seem to come into play anymore. I recall a case a hr and half ago where a young man was shot point blank in the head and died and the one who pulled the trigger got 8 yrs in prison for killing him. The 10/20/ life didn’t come into play on that case either. So I ask why do we make laws then can’t seem to stand behind them. Seems we will wait and see how this one turns out considering their where children in the home that was shot at.

@ Area Resident:

The Chief Judge of each Judicial Circuit establishes a bail or appearance bond schedule setting a “low”, “high”, and “recommended” bond for each level of charges.

Escambia County’s bond schedule was established on 8/5/76 and implemented under Administrative Order #76-10. As far as I could find, it was last amended on 2/7/08 – by then Chief Judge Terry Terrell. Additional review indicates that the bond amounts annotated for Escambia County, also corresponded with the bond amounts annotated for Santa Rosa County 5/14/14 by Chief Justice John Miller.

The entire directive is 4 pages in length and contains many requirements. In keeping with the guidelines of NorthEscambia, it will exceed the 300 word limit. Additionally, links to the web page is prohibited. As such, the info you seek cant is quite lengthy to post as a comment.

If you “Goggle” the following – uniform bail bond schedule 1st judicial circuit Florida – the search will provide the necessary link to the order. The link will provide access to a “pdf” copy of the directives for both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

gee, he sure looks angry. I’m guessing he thinks you can just randomly shoot at folks and not suffer any consequences? Maybe he’s just having a bad day in the hood…..
