An appeals court reduced Trump’s bond by more than 60% after his attorneys claimed it was a “practical impossibility” to pay the full amount. Their failure to disclose a proposal from a billionaire financier may have violated ethics rules.
No jail in civil trial, he should have had to pay the bond or have his assets forfeit after a short stay period. An appeal court with a Judge that Trump appointed reduced his bond because they’re a fucking shill.
The comment I replied to said if you can’t pay go to jail. The subject of this story is the civil fraud trial of Donald Trump in New York. There is no bail and there is no bond to be released from jail in a civil matter. That would be a criminal trial, which this is not. His bond is only to stay the execution on the judgment while he appeals.
That’s why I mentioned a debtors prison, where people who can’t pay debts would go to jail.
Why did they reduce the bond? Isn’t the rule normally: you can’t pay, you go to jail?

That has not been the rule. Debtor’s prisons were abolished a long time ago.
Needing to pay bond to be released from jail is unrelated to the practice of debtors’prisons.

I don’t think this a bond to stay out of jail. It’s a bond to substitute for payment of a fine while awaiting appeal.
Sony be silly, those rules are for the peasants.
