Early on it was questioned if Peterson had received the required training that non lawyer JP’s are supposed to get. Can Broden subpoena Peterson’s file to determine that?

I don't think it would be necessary to see Petersen's "training file," one should be able to review other cases where he set bail, to see if he used the statutory elements that Texas uses for setting bail. If he's used those elements in the past, then he knows they exist, either by training, experience, or merely following the established format by rote.

Black letter law, bail is set on a case-by-case basis, with several consideration being under review.
