Court Result

  • Went to court for the bail hearing today.
  • I thought he’d get what he asked for since the judge was kinda soft on the previous cases today.
  • It did not happen Romero’s way, his bond stayed at $5000 cash AND the judge added 2 requirements that he had to wear 2 ankle bracelets, one a monitor and the other a GPS tracker. This adds $800/month to the cost of his freedom. The bond and the $800 is most likely more than his mother can afford.
  • YAY!

Court today!

  • More of a reminder for me than a notification for you.
  • 1:30 this afternoon, Romero will go before a judge for a bond reduction and/or release to house arrest with electronic monitoring with an ankle bracelet.
  • I will go to object, if allowed, to his release. He was out of jail on bond at the time he robbed our store. His mother’s house is just 2 miles from our place. Robbing our store involved 6 felonies.
  • I’m not sure the judge will allow me to speak, but I will talk with the prosecutor prior to the hearing.
  • This all is a major pain in the ass.
