Q

yes, unless you post bail. however you already told me that you do not have anyone here who could post the $75,000 bail for you. so that means you will be in jail until the end of this case

A

si a menos que usted deposite la caucion. sin embargo, usted ya me dijo que no conoce a nadie que pudiera depositar la caucion de $75,000 en su causa. eso significa que quedara en la carcel hasta la finalizacion de esta causa
