Advice for the bail bond weary.... Login/Join

I need some thoughts on this scenario:

Final Judgment taken on PR Bond, AJ and Writ of Execution have issued. Writ returned: Defendant not found, no property found. Would you release the judgment without payment to clean up your case load? Could you release the judgment without payment?

If you wouldn't and/or couldn't release the judgment what type of case management would you employ? Do you just send the file to the basement and forget about it? Practically, would you periodically re-issue a writ?

How do you handle post-judgment cases like this?

Pursuing a personal bond is a joke. We generally do not even seek a civil judgment because it creates a mountain of paperwork that serves no purpose.

We indict the defendant for bond forfeiture. We prosecute him if we find him. Could we be demanding payment of the bond amount as a part of any plea agreement?

My county does not seek or prepare a Judgment Nisi on PR bond cases. Too much paper and work with no result. Since you already have the judgment abstracted, you could sit back and see what happens.
