South Dakota Order Setting Bond is a legal document issued by a court in South Dakota to determine the amount and conditions of bail for a defendant. It serves as a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court on the specified dates and fulfill any other requirements imposed by the court. The purpose of a South Dakota Order Setting Bond is to strike a balance between the defendant's right to be released from custody pending trial and the need to ensure public safety and prevent flight risk. The bond amount may vary depending on the severity of the offense, previous criminal record, and the defendant's ties to the community. There are different types of South Dakota Order Setting Bonds, including: 1. Cash Bond: This type of bond requires the defendant or their representative to pay the full bond amount in cash. It acts as a guarantee that the defendant will appear in court as scheduled. If the defendant fulfills all the court requirements, the cash bond is returned at the end of the case. 2. Surety Bond: In this case, a bail bondsman acts as a surety on behalf of the defendant. The bail bondsman charges a fee, usually a percentage of the total bond amount, and posts the bond with the court. If the defendant fails to appear in court, the bail bondsman is responsible for paying the full bond amount to the court. 3. Property Bond: Instead of cash, a property bond allows the defendant or their representative to use real estate or other valuable property as collateral for their release. The court places a lien on the property, and if the defendant fails to fulfill their obligations, the property may be seized and sold to satisfy the bond. 4. Personal Recognizance Bond: Also known as PR bond or own recognizance bond, this type of bond does not require any form of collateral or payment. It is granted based on the defendant's representation that they will appear in court as required. PR bonds are often given to individuals with strong community ties and little or no risk of flight. It is important to note that South Dakota Order Setting Bonds have specific conditions and requirements that must be followed by the defendant. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in the bond being revoked, leading to the defendant's arrest and possible forfeiture of the bond amount.
