What is the name of your state? texas
My brother was pickep up on a warrent back on january 15 and he is still in jail
Hmmm, obviously a felony warrant, concerning some rather serious charges.
he got a public defender that he has not seen except at his court dates
For the most part, this would be due to the fact that your brother is spending all of his days in jail, while the public defender spends his days in a court room. This is also why your brother gets to see him on his court dates.
and the courts also keep reschedualing his court dates and we can't affored his bond can they legally keep him like this
As long as he keeps waving his right to a speedy trial, the courts can reschedule and postpone his trial for years.
If you can't afford his bail, you are either very poor or he is facing some serious charges,,, or both.
Accordingly, subsequent to the court eventually taking him to trial, should he be found guilty, he can be sentenced to many many years in prison.
So you should ask yourself, is it possible that he did commit the crime(s) he's being charged with. If the answer is yes, you shouldn't be concerned with posting his bond, as he's where he belongs.
If the answer was yes, it's also probably just best for you to get used to having a brother behind bars. Then, learn from his mistakes and move on with your own life.
If you'd like to know how long it could take until he's allowed to pass go and collect $200.00, post back with what has he been charged with and provide some details of his prior criminal record. Then someone can plug all that information into the crystal ball and see what it spits out.
