    Default Re: Excessive Bail Charged, in Violation of the 8th Amendment to the U.S. Constitutio

    KevinBadiei;621147]I was under the impression that attorneys would be answering questions on this forum.
    read the TOS



    There is another site called Lawguru.com where attorneys answer basic legal questions.
    and you get some pretty generalized answers there. Even there the laywers are not going to establish a lawyer/client relationship.

    This site is called "Expertlaw forums" after all, and only has an entire forums with like 100 different categories of law where people can post questions under the area of law their question falls under. This gave me the impression that this site was similar to Lawguru.com, with attorneys posting replies to people's questions. However, now I am told that you are not an attorney, and that attorneys would not answer questions on these forums. Therefore, it appears that the "Expertlaw forums" does not have any experts in law that are answering any questions.
    the forums are not the only resource available on this site.





    Mr. Knowitall appears to have misunderstood a large part of my question for some reason. Getting somewhat insulting replies such as "do you know what "excessive" means?" or "you just want to argue, go argue with someone else" is really unnecessary, and that's why I responded the way I did.
    ok, let's play.

    what is your basis for determining you had to pay an excessive amount of bail? regardless of whether the judge ordered $35 or $35k bail on the second arrest, that does not mean that $50k or $85k would be excessive. It just means that he felt $35k was adequate for the situation.

    did the judge know there was already (or still) a $50k bond in place? If not and you failed to ask the court to continue that bond, there is nobody to blame but yourself. If I was standing in front of the judge and he said there is now a $35k bond required, I would have said, "WHAT? I already have a $50k bond in place for the first arrest concerning this issue. Since this is not a new crime, can that bond be continued to cover this bond requirement?" Did you ask the judge something similar?

    Second, it sounds like the original case was dismissed, and odds are the bail from that original case was refunded to the bondsman.
    It still sounds like this is the case, but Kevin does not appear interested in helping us out by clarifying the facts.

    I'm in a heavy-handed mood at the moment. Kevin had his opportunity to clarify things and chose to behave badly, so he can go to one of the forums he believes to be better than this one and ask his questions there.
