Not sure how the alleged murderer got that bond. Judge may have just made a big mistake. Prosecutors are trying to violate him back to jail on the other charge so he might go back.
The bond was likely secured as opposed to cash only, meaning that he needed a surety (bondsman) and only had to pay them 10%, or his family may have used property to secure the bond. As to the bond, it was probably modified by consent to avoid a probable cause hearing in district court, which can be a real pain. It's common practice (or at least it used to be) for those to be waived be defendants in exchange for consideration on the bond.
But if the guy is already out on bond for a crime of gun violence, maybe don't give him another bite at the apple?
I imagine that his bond in the other matter will be revoked so it may not actually matter what his bond is on this particular offense
One would think that the second incident would cause the bond for the first to be revoked.
Assuming that happens and he is rapidly returned to jail, does the bail bondsman keep the $20,000 for the second bond even though he was only out for a day or two? That would be nice.
