- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
No bail shall be discharged by reason of the want of qualifications required in this chapter, by reason of there not being the requisite number of bail, by reason of any agreement other than is expressed in the undertaking, by reason of the infancy, coverture, lunacy, or any other incapacity of any of the parties thereto, because the defendant has not joined in the same, or because the undertaking of bail is not taken and approved by the proper officer where the defendant is released from custody on approval of such undertaking of bail.
