Why was Alexander Holguin released?
What does recognizance mean??
It means they don’t consider him a “flight risk”. No bail was set and he said he would appear in court for his hearing. I guess the fact that they took his car might have something to do with it…even though if I wanted to get out of town, I’d use public transportation…would be much more difficult to be found.
Depending on many circumstances a judge may choose to release someone without bail pending his initial hearing.Depending on the jurisdiction is a somewha common occurrence
Jackson doesn’t want our schools in their township, but they are glad to send their drug pushers , child abductors, trouble-makers & thugs to our township.
4- really?
