State v. Covington
Annotate this Case
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of default and forfeiture of $17,815 in cash bail entered after the trial court denied Defendant's motion to set aside the forfeiture of that portion of his deposited cash bail, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant's motion to set aside the forfeiture.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion because the bail bond did not explicitly warn him of forfeiture as a potential consequence for violating the condition of his release that he commit no violation of a bail condition. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that, on the record, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Defendant's motion as to $17,815 of his deposited cash bail.
