Just to highlight this, it means someone is sitting in jail for at least 3 days longer, possibly more, because the jail did not do their job of bringing someone to their hearing.
Case 3: The third case was postponed due to the person not being made available for the bail hearing.
The docket ended with Judge Ringgold-Kirksey saying she need to get jury duty since she was called up.
