2014 Code of Alabama
Title 15 - CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
Chapter 13 - BAIL.
Section 15-13-115 - Obligation of sureties in probation cases.
The obligation of sureties is continued beyond the finding of a guilty verdict by the judge or by a jury in cases where the maximum sentence, set out by law, does not exceed 10 years and where the court desires to continue the case for a probation hearing so long as the court has not announced the sentence to be imposed or sentenced the defendant in any form as set out by law. In such cases, the obligation of the sureties is continued until there has been a determination and order by the court of denying or granting probation. In cases where the maximum sentence as set out by law is less than 10 years, and the court has imposed a sentence, the sureties, may continue their obligation on such bail beyond the findings or rendering of the verdict but such an agreement shall be entered on the docket or case summary sheet and the surety shall execute their name or names by the entry.
