Commonwealth v. Rondon, M., Apl. of: Hobbs, S.

Summary

The court held that a defendant's failure to appear triggers the bail-revocation provisions even when the failure resulted from a breakdown in court administration. Because the trial court reinstated bail without obtaining the bail bondsman's written consent, it erred, but the bondsman was not entitled to relief because he failed to timely challenge the reinstatement order. The court therefore affirmed the lower court's result on different grounds.
