Name: People v. Seneca Insurance Company
Case #: B148121
Opinion Date: 01/07/2002
District 2 DCA
Division: 3
Citation: 94 Cal.App.4th 1358
Summary

Even if guilt is determined by plea rather than trial, the court must commit a defendant on bail to custody unless it articulates specific factors listed in Penal Code section 1166 permitting the defendant to remain on bail. The failure of the court to articulate its rationale results in exoneration of bail.
