Should perpetrators of domestic violence be prosecuted without the victim's consent?
Yes. Crimes are prosecuted by the state, not the victims. Whether or not the victim wants the crime prosecuted is irrelevant. If the crime has been committed, there is enough evidence to prosecute, and it is in the public's interest to curb this type of crime, the crime should be prosecuted. Additionally, in the area of domestic violence battery particularly, there is an emotional involvement between the victim and the defendant. In this area, perhaps more than any other area, the defendant "gets to" the victim and discourages cooperation at an alarming rate. Often, when the victim refuses to cooperate with authorities, and the case is not prosecuted, the victim is attacked again later by the same defendant.
Can a husband choose to not testify against his mate in Washington state?
A spouse or civil partner of a defendant is almost always considered a competent witness for either side, and may choose to testify for or against their spouse. A defendant may, when relevant, compel their spouse or civil partner to testify on their behalf. The prosecution however, may only compel the testimony of the defendant's spouse or civil partner in cases of domestic abuse or violence or sexual offences towards persons under 16. When the spouse or civil partner is a co-defendant to the charges, they may not be compelled to testify. ~wikipedia.org/wiki/Spousal_privilege

Who pays a bail bondsman?
Most of the time the indemnitor pays the bail bondsman. Here's how it works. Someone is arrested. Say for domestic violence. This is a very popular charge in California and the bail is usually $20,000 or $50,000. $20,000 if its a normal verbal fight with maybe a push or just verbal threats. $50,000 if there are marks such as bruises or scrapes. The cost of the bail bond goes up when there is more damage or multiple offenses over time. So we'll deal with the $20,000 domestic violence charge. The bail bonds is now $20,000, the defendant is in jail awaiting their court date. The defendant now has two choices. 1. Wait in jail until their court date. 2. Bail themself out. Normally the defendant bail's them self out by calling a friend or family member and the friend or family member calls a bail bonds company. This is where you find out who is paying the bail bondsman. When the friend or family member receives a call from the defendant, they call a bail bondsman and tell them what happened. The bail bondsman looks up the charges and the cost of the bail bonds in the computer. For this example its $20,000. A bail bondsman is regulated by the California Department of Insurance and is told to take 10% of the overall bail bond cost for their premium. This would then be $2000. At this point the friend pays the bail bondsman and signs for their responsibility also. Meaning, the signor or indemnitor is stating that they will be responsible for the defendant to go to all of their court dates until the case is over. After the defendant get's bailed out, the defendant usually pays back the indemnitor for helping them out. Only in rare scenarios does the defendant actually bail themself out and pay for their own bail bonds. For more information: visit http://www.shbailbonds.com
