Alyssa Shepherd, 24, of Rochester, was arrested and charged Tuesday with reckless homicide and other crimes, records show.
The purpose of a bond is to make sure the defendant shows up for trial in a criminal case. If the bond was set at only $15k then she’s probably a very low flight risk.
I’m worried that it could be a wink wink nod nod and an open invite to see to it that Shepherd not live to see trial. You let her out, she is going to be fair game. She might not fare well in prison as well but in ladies prison she wouldn’t get killed the way a male might in a men’s prison had he done the same thing.
So, the woman who recklessly drove over and killed three children had to pay $1,500.00 to get released. UFB
