Iowa seeks bond for material witnesses in criminal cases
A proposed code bill would allow magistrates to hold witnesses in bonds up to 2500 dollars, with no limit for capital offenses, and confinement until compliance. It would also provide 24 dollars per day while jailed and allow supervisors to direct payments to dependents, exempting such funds from seizure. The measure, backed by county attorneys, faced defeat in the senate this week and is touted for revival in the next regular session.
