South Dakota Supreme Court reverses lower court bail bond decision
The South Dakota Supreme Court has reverse a lower court decision and ordered a jail bond be set aside.
Dakota Bail Bonds posted jail bonds for two defendants under one condition: they both appear in court.
The defendants made their court date, but violated other conditions of their release, so the state ordered forfeiture of the bonds. That means the bond money must be given to the court.
Dakota Bail Bonds claimed the defendants appeared in court, therefore their bonds should not be forfeited.
A lower court sided with the state saying the language of the bond didn’t apply to only court appearances.
The state Supreme Court reversed that decision, saying a bail bond is “widely understood only to ensure appearances.” The court also said that Dakota Bail Bonds’ agreement with the state solely ensured defendants would appear in court. Because the defendants did, the forfeiture should have been set aside.

Montana State vs. South Dakota: 2024 FCS semifinal highlights
Dec. 21, 2024
Montana State defeated South Dakota 31-17 to advance the FCS finals, led by Walter Payton Award finalist Tommy Mellott. Watch the full game highlights here.
FARGO, N.D. — Bryce Lance caught three touchdown passes from Cam Miller, including a one-handed game winner, to give North Dakota State a 28-21 win over two-time defending national champion South Dakota State on Saturday and a berth in the FCS title game.
The second-seeded Bison (13-2) will take on the winner of top-seeded Montana State and No. 4 seed South Dakota, played later Saturday, for the championship on Jan. 6 in Frisco, Texas. NDSU, winner of nine FCS titles with its last coming in 2021, won its 20th straight home playoff game and beat the Jackrabbits for the second time this season. Those two teams and South Dakota tied for the Missouri Valley Football Conference title.
After the third-seeded Jackrabbits (12-3) tied the game at 21-all, the Bison drove 75 yards and scored with 4:18 remaining when Lance snagged a pass with his right hand and managed to get control and a foot down in the right corner of the end zone. The play was initially ruled as incomplete but overturned on review.
On South Dakota State’s final possession, Mark Gronowski was sacked on fourth-and-17 at the Jackrabbits’ 31.
The teams traded touchdowns in each of the first two quarters before both punting three times in the third quarter.
Miller found Lance deep for a 47-yard score early in the fourth and the Jackrabbits tied it midway through the period on Gronowski’s 14-yard pass to Grahm Goering.
Lance, brother of NFL quarterback Trey Lance, made six catches for 125 yards, his other TD coming on a 21-yarder. Miller was 13-of-19 for 179 yards and also rushed for 93 yards and a TD.
Gronowski was 14-of-25 passing for 204 yards and he also ran for a score. Amar Johnson rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown.
