I researched a little further. Apparently the judge was getting inundated with calls after this article appeared and decided not to allow the suspect to travel...
Thanks for the update.
dutchgirl....the judge may or may not have actually changed his mind, but atherton did indeed go to florida. someone should do some serious checking where he actually went, who he went to see and who he went there with. family oriented trip? not even close. what a scum bag
