Bail Bondsman Clashes With Criminal Court System

Richard Sparano, owner of AA Bail Bonds is out $50,000.00 because of the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office.

The bail bond agency had posted a $50,000.00 bail bond for Dr. Munir Faswala. The Milville doctor was indicted on drug charges in late 2005 and the state appellate court ruled Tuesday that the Superior Court judge should reconsider a decision not to revoke bail for the doctor.

The reason you might ask? Well, Dr. Faswala never reported to the bail bond company as required to begin with and when the bail agent located him in Buffalo, New York, while being detained by the Canadian border authority, the prosecutor's office refused to take action to detain him when the bail bondsman contacted them.

The superior court judge's argument is that Dr. Faswala had not missed any court dates between posting bail and fleeing the country! By the way, Dr. Faswala is now in Pakistan.

Our argument would be with the bail bond company. Why would you post a $50,000.00 bail bond without securing the amount of bail during the course of the transaction?

O.J. Simpson Jailed And Bail Bond Revoked

After reviewing several articles this morning on O.J. Simpson, I find no just cause for the revocation of his bail bond.

Unfortunately, we see this to many times in the industry. The bail bond company gets cold feet and for no apparent reason they surrender the defendant. Yes, you may surrender a defendant for any reason with the return of premium monies, at least in the state California, but ultimately reflects the business practice and to some degree the ethical conduct of the bail agent.

Yale Galanter, Mr. Simpson's attorney, should have a good argument against the prosecution in the upcoming appearance.

In conclusion, the bail bondsman involved in the transaction admitted to not being paid on the bail bond. Mr. Pereira's motive for the surrender of the audio tape and Mr. Simpson is strictly money driven. I am sure if Mr. Pereira was paid on the bail bond during the process of Mr. Simpson's release, things would be a little different.
