Who did you pay this bond to? If you paid it to the court, you may be able to revoke the bond and get your money back. If you're talking about payments you made to a bail bondsman, that money is GONE.

You misunderstood my question. I'm not asking about getting a refund on the money I already paid to a bails bondsman. I'm asking about the rest I owe which is about $3k. how do I get out of paying that since this person whom I bailed out did a severe criminal act on me recently? I did a criminal charge report to police which they are currently investigating. If I start paying this bond this month again, it will look bad to the detective, investigators, court & judge making me look like a guilty party. Do you understand my question now?
I'm afraid you can't stop paying the bail bondsman. You had a contract with the bondsman. The basic terms were that if the bondsman got the person released, you would make the payments. The bondsman fulfilled his end of the bargain, you must now fulfill yours. The fact you have issues with the person who was bonded out changes nothing with your agreement with the bondsman.
You can ask the bondsman to petition the court to revoke the bond. The court can then decide whether the bond will be revoked. Keep in mind revocation will not relieve you of your obligations to still pay the bondsman.
I agree with Jeff. The fee for the bail bondsman is gone the moment he gets the person out of jail. The fact that it's financed doesn't change anything.
Why, why, why did you pay this persons bail?
Respectufully speaking; you need to get away from this person, but you probably already are aware of that.
Yes, it absolutely does "look bad" as you say, because it makes you look bad by association, right?
I was once asked to pay a bail...that person has ben in and out of jail for the last 30 years. I say this as you may very well be looking at the same scenario, so don't feel bad because if you have not "saved" him this time-there will be another. Why go through all that, right?
Better to move on and don't look back, I sincerely wish you well.
Good luck!
What I'm saying is if I go ahead and pay this bond, then the police, court & judge won't take me serious about the criminal charges I have against this person. The attack was assault with attempted murder, stolen money, kidnap etc.

Because he was a good liar & it was before he did the assault.

I have stayed away from him after I got home from the attack. That's not the problem at all.
