Re: domestic battery- 2nd conviction

I cannot predict what the bond amount might be, but given the history it could be significant. The more pressing issue is what will become of the case against him. After completing whatever sentence is imposed he will be released without further bond. The bond is to make sure he shows up in court as scheduled from time to time until the case is decided.
