I have never heard of a inmate waiving their right to a bond why would they do this?


I am really confused this person murdered my mom n law although he says he is not guilty they indited him and he wave his right to a bond why would someone do that? No I do not want this person out but I have never heard of anyone wave their right to a bond I was just curious as to why he did that
Best Answer:
There are a few reason for that 1. if you cant afford the bill do you really care how much it is and the main reason I own seen this done is for publicity or lack there of. You other see how a person is being held on a million dollar bond and your first thought is that they must be REALLY guilty. So if he has no bond set later there is nothing to talk almost. So when he goes to court the readings will NOT contain the bond amount so it will not serve as a negative against him.
maybe because he can???
Most likely, the bail on a murder is so lofty, the guy doesn't have a chance of coming up with even the ten percent needed for a bond. Some defendants are au fait with the system, and are already aware that "time served" begins at arrest, if they're not bailed out. If they remain in custody through the trial, they may own already served a year of the sentence before they're convicted. Jail time is easier than prison time. Also, I've seen a few defendants wave bond because they're an user, and really want to get clean. They may realize that if they're released, they'll go right subsidise to their drug of choice, so they opt to stay, hoping that by the time they've served the sentence, it will be easier to avoid. Could be all three reasons.
If the charge is murder, next a bond, if one was even granted, would be VERY expensive. It might well be a much better use of his money to pay a defense attorney instead of a bondsman. Richard
