同時您所問的問題,答覆如下
Does the bail bond continue eternally, can you get it returned?

When the bail has served its purpose, the surety will be exonerated (i.e., released from the obligation). Exoneration normally occurs when the proceeding is terminated in some way or on the return of the defendant to custody. After conviction, the defendant appears for sentence. If sentenced to jail confinement or imprisonment the defendant is committed to the custody of the sheriff, and the liability of the surety/s' is discharged. Please note that if

What if the defendant is sentenced to probation?

A defendant who is convicted and given probation, is released from custody and the bail bond must be exonerated as a matter of law.


至於您第二個問題, 應該請教您妻子的律師,他(她)才是最適合回答這個問題的人,老貓不是您妻子的律師,因此是否應該選擇認罪,或是選擇不認罪,都是你們兩位的決定. 然而無論如何,你們兩位的決定應該是以當事人的最佳利益為重而不是考慮如何盡快拿回保釋金為前題.
同時不論您的妻子是否願意再居住在這個國家,她也不宜因為想要儘速解決這個案件而輕易做出任何決定,老貓希望您與您的夫人認真與律師好好討論這個問題,然後再做決定.
