He was detained for 30 days and signed a release certificate but was sentenced to bail pending trial. What happened? Will you be prosecuted in the future?

Not released on bail pending trial.

Because you don't understand legal procedures. Bail pending trial is only a compulsory measure, not a sentence. Criminal detention and arrest, as well as bail pending trial, are all compulsory measures, but now they are only changed into compulsory measures, not sentencing, and nothing will happen if they are released on bail pending trial. The release certificate does not mean that the case is over and the representative is no longer in custody. However, the case is not over, and it has to enter the judicial process. After bail pending trial, you should be on call, otherwise your deposit will be deducted and you will be in danger of being thrown back into prison.

After bail pending trial, the case will be heard in court, but it is possible to sentence it to probation (execution outside prison). If no new crime is committed within the probation period, the original sentence will not be executed.
