Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina
If you have a pending case that you've already been let out on bond for, then get arrested for more serious charges, what are the chances of them completely revoking bond, and what are the chances of still being allowed a bond on the new charges? He had bond revocation Friday, but they didn't revoke it then, could he still end up with a revoked bond?

Your question is a bit confusing. The first half of what you wrote, is asking about what the chances are of someone having their bond revoked when they are already out on bond, and then get arrested again on more serious charges. After reading the first half of what you wrote, I was perfectly comfortable giving you and answer.
Then the second half of what you wrote, says that "He had a bond revocation Friday, but they didn't revoke it."
So excuse me for being confused, but didn't you just answer your own question? After all, you wanted to know what the chances are of someone having their bond revoked, and then you explain that they had a revocation hearing and it was not revoked.
So what is it that you are asking? Are you referring to whether they would revoke his bond if he was arrested a third time?
You certainly couldn't be asking if they would revoke his bond on the second arrest, when he already had a hearing and didn't revoke it.
