No, making bail only means he can fight the case from the outside, but studies have shown that a person who fights a case from the outside has a better chance of winning or getting a better deal on a plea bargain.

No. However, his conduct after being released on bail could be helpful in either negotiating a better disposition or assisting in lowering any sentence the judge might impose upon a plea or conviction. It will also give him a better chance to assist his attorney in defending him and possibly obtaining an acquittal.
