N/AOUTCOME: Verdict for Woody Fox Bail Bonds
Two bail bonds companies sued two county common pleas courts over their cash-only bail requirement. In a 5-2 ruling, the Supreme Court of Ohio agreed with Carpenter's argument that that how to post bai ... l is a defendant’s choice, not a court’s. “The Ohio Constitution affords every Ohio citizens the right to a sufficient surety to be bailable out of jail so that no citizen is unduly detained in jail beyond what is necessary," said Carpenter.
