Criminal Law: Bond Forfeiture – Notice
Stephanie Maniscalco//October 17, 2012//
Listen to this articleWhere a surety, who challenged a judgment of bond forfeiture, was given notice and two opportunities to be heard, the surety did not show a due process violation, and the surety’s complaint that a criminal defendant’s guilt finding online caused the defendant to abscond was “rank speculation” and no authority entitles sureties to advance notice of judicial decisions.
Judgment is affirmed.
State v. Aguilar (MLW No. 64275/Case No. SD31918 – 4 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, Scott, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Greene County, Holden, J. (William Oris Worsham, Springfield, for appellant) (Gregory L. Barnes, Jefferson City, for respondent).
