What happens if a defendant posts bail and does not show up for his or her trial?

If the suspect does not return to court or show up, the bail is forfeited, and court will issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest.

Explanation:

Bail is cash, a bond, or property which a suspect or prisoner pays to a court with a condition that the suspect will show up in court when requested or ordered to come to court .

If the suspect violates this condition that the bail isn't valid anymore.

A bail is paid so that a suspect can be released from pre trial detention.
