Dangling participle alert. Was it 18 months after Dylan’s arrest or the guy who assaulted him?
Guy was arrested but couldn’t make bail so he stayed in prison.

A lot of people heard about the guy after the assault and donated money to make his bail.
Unlike the young murderer, we are ‘left hanging’ as to the exact meaning.
