bail revoked
The judge revoked my bail for sentencing because im waiting on the status of another case for him to sentence me. Can he reinstate my bail for the sentencing?

Re: bail revoked
He can reinstate your bail if he so chooses, btu if you have another open case and you have a sentence deferred on this case, why would the judge reinstate your bail? I don't think most judges would reinstate your bail.
Re: bail revoked
I don't understand the question but I'll give it a shot. It sounds like you are describing a situation where there was a second offense committed while you were on bail and you were then picked up on a "detainer." If that's right, then you would have to ask the Judge to lift the detainer and reinstate your bail. But if you are not in jail right at the moment, I may not be reading your question right.
