Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

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

August 19, 2025

Summary

Justice Wecht concurs in the affirmation of the lower courts’ order but rejects the majority’s reading that 42 Pa.C.S. § 5747.1(b)(2) requires a bail bondsman’s written consent every time bail is reinstated. He argues the statute’s consent provision applies only when reinstatement follows a defendant’s own failure to appear, not when reinstatement corrects a court error.
