A: Hi,

I am sorry but I only practice family law. Your question is a criminal law question. Despite the fact that your friend married the victim, whenever you have a question related to someone being sent to jail, and a bond, it is criminal law, not family law. The only exception would be sanctions for contempt and that is not the case here. In addition, it is very difficult for a non-lawyer to cite cases and apply the law. This is because citing cases is a whole process that is taught in law school and it involves legal analysis which would be involved in applying the law. I would contact a criminal lawyer for a consultation. Good luck, and take care.
