I don't see a reason to worry about it. FWIW all I said is that he's not going anywhere meaning that he isn't likely to skip bail and run. He, or his family, have put up $150k for bail. Unless his wife is willing to go with him he would have to leave her behind, with the debt, and skip the country for the rest of his life. At 73 that seems just a bit unlikely.

It's not like they couldn't tap his phone and his computer either if he is suspected of hatching some plot against the witnesses. That sounds pretty far fetched anyway. He's not some big mob boss with a crew of people sworn in blood to be loyal to him. Who would collude with him? Some of his old retired cop friends? They're going to risk prison to help him beat the rap of shooting someone in a movie theater? That's a crazy idea.

Have you never lived in a city? I have; and many of the cops are as crooked as the crooks.
