  • Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.

   Sec. 2.

The petition must be filed in the court in which the case was tried, and a copy shall be sent to the prosecuting attorney of the circuit where the judgment was rendered.
