Had a client reach the end of the court's and prosecutor's patience regarding his no-shows on court settings. We managed to make it a long way with good explanations and reasons. And a good lawyer can smooth over a lot of problems. But there's always a limit. Short of being an astronaut in orbit or a deployed soldier, judges generally want their defendants in court. That's what bonds are supposed to encourage. But when that encouragement is not enough, the judge will hold the bonds insufficient. Game's not over yet though.
