A 250K bail only needs 20 to 25K in cash
It’s technically the same. Bond companies underwrite the rest.
Bail is only to keep them from fleeing.
I think this author is lazy.
Same amount but, for the bondsman route doesn’t the bondsman keep 10%? Whereas if the court accepts cash bond of $20k and (his parents) could pay it they would get it back if he showed up for trial?
