Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado
When released on bond, my husband was given an appearance bond. He was told by the bonding agent to carry it on him at all times. when I looked it over to find out when he needed to appear in court I noticed a section that read "If this bond is made for another court, either County or Municipal it is mandatory that the return date be set a minimum of 5 weeks in the future". Date of arrest was 4/14/2012, bonded out on 4/15/2012, court date in a different county was set for 5/02/2012. Why is the court date set less than the 5 week mandatory and what can we do about it?

An agreement between a Defendant and a Bonding Agent is mostly a private contract between the parties. Provisions in that bonding agreement are subservient to Orders from the Court. You should follow the Court's Orders. If you have a dispute with the Bonding Agency, you should be able to proceed against them civilly. Without knowing more, I would not recommend it.
