Obviously, I am not in this situation. Related article, wondering what is happening to this woman's house/loans/expenses/rent/car payments/etc

So before conviction, when you're being held pending court proceedings, it would be inconvenient to attend your work place during that time. So I'm wondering, what happens?

If you're found not guilty after months of court hearings, are you just fucked over completely because the bank foreclosed on your house?

If you don't pay property tax, the city/county will seize it and auction it off to pay the bill.

    Actually, I just now realized that I misread their comment and thought they were asking about what happens in the US. I'm honestly not sure what happens in places like Europe, but I imagine it's much less of an issue since prison isn't the 'solution' for everything like it is here.
