Luckily, we don’t let people out of jail just on their lawyer’s claims. They have to find a judge to agree.


So let me get this straight. You are arrested. You just “find a judge” and if he agrees with your argument, you just get out of jail?

Things must work differently in Texas. Around here there are grand juries, trials.....unless the D.A. drops the charges. And there is no way that is going to happen. Yet.

Actually, you always see a judge, magistrate or legally designated authority, within 24 to 72 hours from arrest in most jurisdictions. (That happened in this case.)

That judge sets or denies bail.

Post the money, provide collateral or a bail bond, you walk. Don’t post, you sit.

Then the Grand Jury returns a True Bill or a No Bill.

One does not usually have the pleasure of awaiting a True Bill before being arrested.
