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?

It's an especially awful problem in America because we jail people for minor offenses so this impacts a lot of people that arguably should never be jailed anyways... and once you're jailed in the US there's a strong chance it will happen again and again.
