Judge Williams has set bail at $2,250. The alleged criminal would rather wait for their trial outside of a jail cell. In this case, whose responsibility is it to pay bail?

Bail is money or security provided to ensure the accused returns to court while awaiting trial. The accused is responsible for arranging and paying it, though another person or a bail bond company may help. The prosecuting attorney and defense attorney do not pay the bail, and it is not paid by taxpayers.
