Judge Boyd orders bond forfeitures and remands in multiple no-shows; court gives chance to reinstate if defendants appear
Summary
At Monday's docket call the court ordered bond forfeiture and remand without bond for several defendants who failed to appear, and in other matters authorized bond forfeiture proceedings or recall dates for counsel to locate clients.
Judge Stephanie Boyd granted bond forfeiture and remanded several defendants without bond after they failed to appear for their docket calls, and directed prosecutors and defense counsel to follow local procedures for reinstatement if the defendants subsequently appear.
Key case outcomes
- Adam Adrian Herrera (2024 CR 012735): The defendant did not appear for a scheduled hearing; the court granted bond forfeiture and remanded him without bond. The judge said the court would reconsider if the defendant made an appearance.
- Gabriel Diaz (multiple case numbers 2024 CR 010128, 010131, 010149): The defendant failed to answer docket; the court granted bond forfeiture in each cause and remanded without bond; counsel said they had attempted to contact the defendant and the bondsman and would follow up.
- Several other docket calls included no-shows where the court instructed deputies and counsel to attempt notification, recall at 1:30 p.m. settings or proceed with bond forfeiture motions depending on counsel's preference and the specific case.
Court procedure and notes
Deputy Laura and defense counsel reported attempts to contact bondsmen and clients. The court emphasized the standard remedy for repeated failures to appear: bond forfeiture and issuance of a remand without bond, with the possibility of reconsideration if the defendant later appears and shows cause.
Ending
The court ordered the clerk to enter bond-forfeiture orders where applicable and to issue remands; judges said counsel could request reconsideration if their clients later appeared and showed good cause for the earlier absences.
