The answer to this question depends on a few factors, including the jurisdiction and the circumstances of the case. In some cases, bail may be refundable, while in others, it may not.

If the defendant appears for all scheduled court dates and complies with the conditions of their release, the bail money may be returned after the case, regardless of whether the defendant is found guilty or not guilty. However, if the defendant fails to appear in court or violates the conditions of their release, the bail money may be forfeited to the court or the bail bond company.

The bail process can be complex, and the rules governing the refund of bail money can vary widely depending on the specific jurisdiction and circumstances of the case.
