Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

bail revocation

The judge hearing my case decided to revoke my bail when my attorney asked for exoneration/reduction. Besides the fact my case is phony, (really it is) I am never been arrested, showed up to every stupid court hearing, own a business and a house for 10 years. Have husband and daughter dog in the area. I am unfortuneatley stuck here. (if I wanted to jump bail-give me a break)

My question is the bail was still good for 2 years under penal code 1490 or something like that my bailbondsman said. She was shocked. She said my bail was between her and I, the only interest the court has is in the amount.

Is there an easy remedy (ha-ha) to get my $5000 back? There is a total conspiracy behind my case (really) and I think he wanted to help bleed me too. The $5000 is 10%.

Thanks

Re: bail revocation

The court has the right to reset bail if necessary to meet the intent of the bail law. Generally the court does not raise bail unless there is reason to believe that the person will flee or presents a danger to the public. The relationship between the bail bond and the person out on bail is different. If the person posting the bond feels at risk or otherwise wishes to withdraw the bond that can be done by handing the person over to the jail.
