Terms Used In Missouri Laws 532.220
- Answer: The formal written statement by a defendant responding to a civil complaint and setting forth the grounds for defense.
- 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.
If, in the case mentioned in section 532.210, it appear that the prisoner is legally imprisoned and not bailable, such court shall proceed no further therein; if he ought to be held to answer for a bailable offense, an order shall be made and proceeded on, as provided by this chapter in case where the prisoner is remanded for want of bail; and when it appears that the prisoner is entitled to his discharge, the court shall make an order to that effect.
