[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 633772, member: 1514"] So sorry to read this update. It never does end does it. I can understand exactly where you are at. A couple of things have jumped out at me while reading this. One is the thing about the stabbing possibly being caught on video. Another is that if both the girlfriend and your son are on probation I dont think they are supposed to be around each other. I know it is standard language in release papers to say something like the person on probation will not associate with others on parole or probation or be around other people involved in criminal behaviors. If either your son or his girlfriend has that language in their probation paperwork, well they can hold her and put her back in jail even if your son wants to bail her out. I have also heard that they dont like to allow victims to be the ones to cosign for bail. I also have to wonder if he is correct in the amount of money it will take to bail her out. That 650 sounds like 5% which is really low. Here it is 10 to 15% and you have to have a stable cosigner. Your son isnt stable. A bail bondsman probably isnt going to take a chance on him to be honest. Really, its not a good risk. Neither of them have anything to take if the girl doesnt show up to court. Another thing that just astounds me. I am 52 years old and I have gone my whole life never being stabbed, never stabbing anyone, never personally knowing people who die from drug deals and all that jazz. My son and his girlfriend know dozens! It boggles my mind. [/QUOTE]
