It is wholly within the court's discretion to order a defendant's bail bond deposited in one case to satisfy financial obligations of that same defendant incurred in a different case, with limitations only that bond is first used to satisfy court costs. Defendant's signature on bail bond slip certified his understanding and acceptance of terms set forth, and Section 110-7(f) of Criminal Procedure Code provides authority for use of bail bond to satisfy any unpaid child support obligation. (TURNER and KNECHT, concurring.)
