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,
