/beɪl tuː ðə ˈʃɛrɪf/ – Phrase
Definition: bảo lãnh việc bị đơn có mặt hầu tòa.
A more thorough explanation: “Bail to the sheriff” refers to the process by which a defendant or a third party provides a financial guarantee to the sheriff or other law enforcement officer that the defendant will appear in court as required. This typically involves posting a sum of money or property as security for the defendant’s release from custody pending trial. If the defendant fails to appear in court as required, the bail may be forfeited and the defendant may be subject to arrest.
Example: The judge set bail at $10,000 and instructed the defendant’s family to post the bail to the sheriff’s office before the defendant could be released from custody.
