When they talk about bond that a person can afford, does that mean that they can afford while still having food on their table and paying for their family to be protected from all the public threats made to them by people that no law enforcement is interested in apprehending, etc?
I don’t deal with the financial stuff in our household. If somebody asked me what money was available for what purposes I would be clueless. I suppose the eavesdropping that they did on the husband and wife might show what they knew about what funds were available for what purpose. Has the substance of that eavesdropping been publicly disclosed?
Yes. The idea is to put enough money at risk that the defendant will not be tempted to flee.
-- Has the substance of that eavesdropping been publicly disclosed? --
Only parts of it, in the state's June 1 motion to deny bail. I don't trust Corey or de la Rionda, and suspect the conversation excerpts may be cherry picked out of context; but admit the possibility that George and Shellie were in fact considering "hiding" a substantial amount of money from O'Mara and from the court. No wrong doing in the conversation, by the way. Any wrongdoing happens on April 20th (or when completing a net worth inventory, if one was completed, for bail purposes), not before.
