Arrest Warrant In the case of Darlie Routier, an arrest warrant was needed to be issued so that Darlie would be taken to the police station by a police officer. The officer woho signed Darlie's arrest warrant was Officer Jimmy Patterson. The warrant spelled out the police version of the story and it was later released to the media. Police said that inconsistencies in Darlie's story were the key ingredient. First she would tell them …showed first 75 words of 789 total…

…showed last 75 words of 789 total…all added up to be more than the reduced price of the bail. He managed to pull it off and everything worked out fine. Bail was important in this book because if Darlie was not granted bail then she would not been able to testify at the trial and should not be with her lawyer. She would also not be able to hear the verdict so therefore bail was important and granted in the novel.
