Court Watch: Judge Reduces Bail after Dispute over Incomplete Bail Bond Form
A Yolo County Superior Court judge reduced an accused individual’s bail from $50,000 to $25,000 on Friday, following defense assertions that the individual had been subjected to an erroneously inflated bail amount for several months. Deputy Public Defender Richard Van Zandt argued that court records had mistakenly treated an incomplete bail bond form as valid, thereby prolonging the application of the higher bail without proper posting.
