I forgot the hearing was today - simply stunning that Temple doesn't meet the criteria of flight risk - he's been convicted of murder for the second time - what in the world would he have to lose by taking off? He knows he's going back in the slammer until his dying day, he's the epitome of a flight risk. Yeesh.
I saw that there will be an appeal to get it lowered, who makes that decision, this judge or an appellate court?
Per this article on Click2Houston, the appeal is handled at the appellate level.
How did convicted killer David Temple get bond? Our legal analyst takes a look
From what I’m reading, the family would have to post 10-20% of the bail money, plus provide collateral for the rest. This is probably why Stan is saying it’s impossible for them to do so, and to that I say GOOD!
I continue to believe that he is not only a flight risk, but a danger to many of the people that testified against him if he was released. He has nothing to lose. MOO.
