Obviously, I am not in this situation. Related article, wondering what is happening to this woman’s house/loans/expenses/rent/car payments/etc

So before conviction, when you’re being held pending court proceedings, it would be inconvenient to attend your work place during that time. So I’m wondering, what happens?

If you’re found not guilty after months of court hearings, are you just fucked over completely because the bank foreclosed on your house?

    I had a friend a long time ago who was arrested for shoplifting and was unable to post bail due to this being like a second or third charge. He was evicted from his apartment while he was in. He released his key to me from jail, and another friend and I went and moved out as much of his important stuff as we could, and the apartment complex threw away the rest. If we hadn’t been there to help him, he would’ve lost literally everything, computer, passport, guitar, you name it.
