Practice question
After a bond judgment, the accused is surrendered. Does satisfaction of Section 21’s threshold necessarily wipe out all prior liability automatically?
- Yes, surrender always erases every adjudicated amount by itself.
- Yes, the surety may privately cancel the judgment.
- Yes, no court assessment can occur after surrender.
- Yes, all earlier procedural defaults become legally nonexistent.
- No; it removes the stated bar to considering mitigation but does not itself command total extinction.
