Verbal requests are totally worthless. You need to send a letter certified mail with a return receipt. Until you have a paper trail, you are just spinning your wheels. Since you thought a worthless verbal request was worth something, a lawyer is advisable in your case.

In a criminal case what does case custody- OR mean?
own recognisance. Defendant ticketed & released.
Does the defendant stay in jail after a mistrial or hung jury?
Maybe. If there is a hung jury, the prosecution must decide whether or not to have another trial. If they decline to re-try the case, the defendant would be released. If they decide to have another trial, the defendant would remain in custody to await the new trial, if he/she was in custody for the first trial. Often, after a mistrial, the defense will make a motion or renew a motion for bond or for reduction of bond.
What does it mean case custody - fugitive?
It means the defendant has failed to appear, is missing or escaped. An arrest warrant will be issued for the person.

Any time after arrest (or in custody by an LEO) and before questioning.

Can a judge decline a speedy trial request if the accused has a parole Holt?
The Sixth Amendment grants the right to a speedy trial, meaning that the state can't delay commencement of a trial indefinitely, especially if the defendant is being held in jail while awaiting trial. If the defendant is already on parole, has violated that parole, and is being held in custody, then there is no speedy trial violation because the defendant would be in custody, anyway. Under those circumstances, a judge could deny a dismissal motion based on a speedy trial violation.

The defendant was release on bond with the condition of house arrest. Who has the custody over the defendant?
The defendant is under the order of the court. House arrest is a PRIVILEGE. If he is on house arrest and this information is communicated to law enforcement (which it probably has) if he leaves the property to which he is confined he can be arrested on sight.
If a bail bond is exonerated do you get a refund from the bail company where you posted bail with?
Exoneration of a bail bond simply means that the defendant has been adjudicated and the bail liability has been released from the bail bond agent.When a bail bond is posted and a fee is charged by the bail agent that fee is non-refundable no matter if the charges are never filed, the defendant gets parole revoked and put back into custody, or the defendant is adjudicated.
