• 586 N.W.2d 423

Syllabus

1. In determining whether to order forfeiture of a bail bond, the trial court must exercise its discretion and consider, among other factors, the proportionality of any prejudice to the state compared to the amount of the bail bond to be forfeited. 2. When the trial court's decision to forfeit a bond is against logic and facts on the record, a reviewing court will find an abuse of discretion. Reversed and remanded.
