it means they make a right statement
an amount of bail ordered posted by an accused defendant which is much more than necessary or usal to ussure he/she will make court appearances.
In bail bonding, the principle is the defendant for whom the bail is posted.
It means that the defendant was released on a cash (or property) bailbond and the person for whom the bail was posted fled from prosecution. The amount of money (or property) that was posted with the court to insure his freedom is then forfeited to the court.
It means that, in all likliehood, the defendant is probably still in jail awaiting judicial actionl, unable to raise the bail amount in order to free themselves.
If the person posted a cash or property bond for the defendant, the person will lose their cash or property. If the person hired a bondsman for the defendant, the bondsman will be liable for the difference, and will send a bounty hunter after the defendant. They may or may not come back to the original person for the balance of the bond, depending on applicable state law and the circumstances.
"Judgment for Defendant" means that the defendant wins the case. In a criminal case, a judgment for defendant would be a "not guilty" verdict (usually). In a civil case, it would usually mean that the defendant does not have to pay money to the person who sued him or her (known as the "plaintiff").
In a court entry, "BF" typically stands for "Bond Forfeiture." This term is used when a defendant fails to appear in court as required, resulting in the court forfeiting any bail or bond posted for their release. It indicates that the court is taking action due to the defendant's noncompliance with the conditions of their release.
It means that the defendant has absconded (fled - escaped - become a fugitive) and the money or property that was posted with the court that was supposed to ensure the defendants appearance, has been seized and is now forfeited to the court.
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.
Yes, if bail is revoked, the person who posted bail may lose their money. Typically, when bail is set, the amount is held as a guarantee that the defendant will appear for their court dates. If the defendant fails to comply with the conditions of their bail, the court may forfeit the bail amount.
That means the defendant has to pay them out of his own pocket.
