Nov 10, 2014OUTCOME: Debtor's exemption upheld over objection of trustee
The court ruled, over the trustee’s objection, that a deposit made by the debtor in lieu of a bail bond was exempt. The court agreed with the arguments put forth by debtor's attorney, Jacob Braunstein, ... in holding that payment of bail bond did not constitute a voluntary transfer, as the trustee argued, because it was the only way the debtor could avoid being incarcerated (on a charge that was later dropped).
