The histories may have crossed and if they were committed in separate jurisdictions, maybe the court didn't have a chance to catch up on the second crime and see this person already had a bond out for a previous act. If this is the case and the evidence or proof just wasn't there, then someone must let the prosecutor know in order to decide whether a revocation motion on the bond is necessary. Did the person commit the second act while out on bond for the first? If so, that is not only a source to revoke the bond but may require an enhanced charge on both the first and second charge. Are the bonds with two separate bail bondsmen? If so, they should probably talk, as well as the second one may be revocable and null and void anyway.
