No, I mean if you don't use a bail bondsman.
Your guilt or innocence has nothing to do with bail being returned. Your bail money is refunded (less any court admin fees or any bail bondsman admin fees) once the default conditions of your bond are met.

Bond is seperate from any fine the court may impose as a part of sentencing.
