Section 15-13-80 Failure of defendant to appear; forfeiture of money deposited in lieu of bail.
(a) The essence of all undertakings of bail, whether upon a warrant, writ of arrest, suspension
of judgment, appeal or in any other case, is the appearance of the defendant at court; and
the undertaking is forfeited by the failure of the defendant to appear, although the offense,
judgment or other matter is incorrectly described in such undertaking, the particular case
or matter to which the undertaking is applicable being made to appear to the court. (b) If,
by reason of the neglect of the defendant to appear, money deposited instead of bail is forfeited
and the forfeiture is not discharged or remitted, the clerk with whom it is deposited must,

Section 12-21-225 Testimony for state or defendant by convict. (a) The presiding judge of any
circuit court or district court having reason to believe that the testimony of any convict
serving a sentence in the penitentiary or to hard labor for the county is necessary in any

terms of any such probation bond, said judge may forthwith, or after further probation, make
and enter an order setting aside such suspension of said judgment and sentence, and may issue
a warrant for the arrest of such defendant, and may, upon such arrest, commit him to jail
