How do they decide to let you bond out or stay until trial with a failure to appear?

When a person has a failure to appear (FTA) charge, the decision to allow them to bond out or require them to stay until trial typically involves assessing several factors. These include the severity of the original charge, the circumstances surrounding the FTA, the individual's criminal history, and their ties to the community. A judge may also consider the likelihood of the individual appearing for future court dates. Ultimately, the outcome depends on the specific details of the case and the discretion of the judge.
