Unfortunately, no, he does not. The money paid to the bonding company was earned when they bonded him out. They can only makes bonds to a certain approved level (say $10k for the example.) If they had a bond on your husband for $2k, then that is the amount that they cannot make for another person while his case was pending.

And, unfortunately, there is a lot of immunity in trying to sue a governmental employee (including police.) You can talk with a civil rights lawyer but I doubt there will be recovery. Even law enforcement is allowed to make a mistake.

Sorry that happened to you guys. Sucks.
