People v. Tingcungco
Annotate this CaseAllegheny appealed the denial of its motion to vacate its forfeiture of a bail bond, contending that the applicable statute required additional tolling of the forfeiture period while prosecutors decided whether to extradite a fugitive who had been located in a foreign country. Allegheny posted bail for Ericson Tingcungco, who had been charged with burglary, but Tingcungco did not appear as ordered and the trial court forfeited bail. The court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the current statutory scheme and its legislative history foreclosed Allegheny's interpretation of the applicable statutes.
