A bike ride up the North Branch Trail, runs right by Old Orchard Road where the courthouse is located.  

Beware of the usual restriction of what you can carry inside the building, but do wear a helmet and look like a bike rider supporting the prosecution.

Might be time for another anniversary card. Robertson has now been in custody for over two years.

Does the bail amount of 75k mean that that's what needs to be put up to get him out? Or is it some percentage of that?

In other words nobody was willing to do that for him?

(I know blessedly little about some aspects of the legal/penal system...)

I love this so much! That bastard was so cocky when we were face to face! I'll send him a card with a picture of my smiling face and a "remember me from the Swap-O-Rama you POS?" :-)

It's a sad chapter in a sad existence. When he gets out he's going to figure out how to run a bike theft ring without personal exposure.

10% is usually the amount that needs to be posted to "bond out." I suspect that the case against him is sufficiently strong that his lawyer is waiting until the date that he can plead his client to "time served;" i.e. in exchange for a plea of guilty, he is sentenced to 2 years and two months, and he is released because he has already served two years and two months.

Nah, Howard, this guy isnt that bright. You could argue that he'll go back to stealing bikes but i doubt the internet will be understood by Captain Tiny Brain. I shoulda took the name of the Swap security guard that was taking this shmo's side.

Thanks. He only needs to put up $7500?  Even so, I don't understand why he'd follow advice to stay put.

Are conditions in the holding pens better in some way than in "real" jail?
