Bond is an amount of money set by the magistrate to ensure the defendant will return to face the charges levied against them. If there is no bond, either the charge is not bond-worthy or the defendant poses a threat to the community and they deny release on any terms. Unless there is something else we are not aware of in this case, there will probably be no release until the case is heard.
