So for example, a guy murders people, gets arrested and a bail is set for 5 million dollars. Does the guy walk off if the bail is paid? plz 🙂

Bail is the temporary release of a person who is a **suspect** in an investigation into a crime (police bail), or an **accused** person awaiting trial (court bail).
Sometimes (~~nearly~~ always in USA) bail will be granted on condition that a sum of money is presented to guarantee the person coming to court.
**Bail is not always given** and you’re unlikely to be given bail if:
You are charged with a serious offense, such as attempted murder
You have been previously convicted of a serious crime
You have been given bail in the past and not stuck to the terms
They think that you will not turn up for your court hearing
They think you may commit a crime while on bail
