More-or-less everyone has the option to post bail, it takes some pretty serious shit to have that taken away... my friend's dropkick boyfriend still got bail after robbing a McDonalds, for example. There's no reason to believe that Chris will run from his court date (flight risk) when you consider that he did appear for the Synder case, nor does he fit the
legal definition of a danger to society.
If for whatever reason he doesn't appear in court, he's in for a world of pain. He'll likely have a
bench warrant issued and when the Jerkops grab him he'll be up for contempt of court, as well as being held without bail as he's now proven himself to be a flight risk. That and the bounty hunter will come for Barb, putting their home/car/other assets at risk.
I don't say this and mean it very often, but I honestly don't think he's
that stupid.
