I'm trying to find opinions on whether or not 6-7 days is enough time served in jail for a $750 bond.?
My husband had a warrant for his arrest in Wayne county Mi (out of Westland). Back in July, he was in a drive thru at Wendy's and had a grand mal seizure. He somehow hit the gas, and hit the minivan in front of him. It also caused damage to the building. He was driving my dad's Durango, but his license was (unknowingly) suspended for a ticket out of Royal Oak (in Oakland county) he forgot to pay right before we moved to Florida (we moved back to MI about 3 years ago). They initially took him to the hospital for a blood test (NOT for the seizure), then to jail. They let him out the following morning, without a bond or anything. Fast forward to this past Thurs- we were in Westland with a friend, the friend was driving. We got pulled over, and they took my husband to jail on the warrant. It was for the driving on suspended, causing an accident. After arraignment, they set his bond at $750. He also has a $300 bond from a warrant stemming from Royal Oak from that ticket back in 2007. So yesterday they said he'd be getting shipped to Wayne county jail from the Westland holding cell, (obviously as you can tell, I can't afford $1050) BUT they shipped him all the way up to Isabella county jail due to overcrowding (it's a couple hours north). His next court date is this Wednesday. Once he finishes everything in Wayne county, he'll be bound over to Oakland county, but I CAN afford to come up with the $300 for THAT, as a matter of fact, I'm TRYING to do that BEFORE Wednesday. So my question is, does anyone think the odds are in his favor that since his 'crime' is nonviolent, and it's so obviously overcrowded, he could get time served on Wednesday? It'll only be what, 6 days served? He got arrested at about 3 pm on Thursday the 20th, so that's kinda like 7 days. Would it benefit him in being more of a candidate for time served if I paid the $300 to Royal Oak before he sees the judge on Wed? And as far as the seizures go, it was his 5th in the past 2 years, and he's had one since. He's now on anti seizure meds, and the insurance company covered my dad's Durango even though my husband didn't have a license. The van he crashed into didn't have insurance. I know no one has a definite answer, but without any smack talk, does anyone have an educated or experienced opinion?? Thank you.
