Did I read correctly on TalkLeft that GZ loses his $15,000 bond fee because Lester revoked his bail without even giving GZ and MOM a chance to adequately prepare for the state’s motion?
Yep. That fifteen grand is gone, down a rathole, with the loss assignable to Lester.
Lester knew this, and I believe bmaz when he says this is a typical prosecutor/judge "trick" in a criminal case. Allow the defendant to bond out, then revoke bail on some pretext so the bond is forfeit. Gives them a chance to wring more loot from defendant or his friends and family. The legal system is a close cousin to organized crime.
