So then what happens, if this same thing occurs after the change? He gets released on his own recognizance?

I think it would be up to a judge to decide within 12 hrs, if he stays for trial or if he goes free until trial.

That’s a low bail… loaded rifle in front seat and attempted murder most likely… these County Judges. Doubted they even tested him for any substances. They’re gonna let him bail out after he fired in a car full of people! If I were those people, I’d fear for my life. What Judge is this?

he’s a Hooven. I heard it was road rage stemming from too much fox news.

I am no way saying what he did wasn’t wrong but I can guarantee he was not drunk or on drugs. I will not go into details but until you know facts please I ask you for the family to think before you judge.
