News $50 Million Bail
Brendan reports from Haq’s hearing at King County Jail that bail was set at $50 million. The judge, Barbara Linde, asked the prosecution if they intended to file capital charges, and they said they weren’t ready to request that.
Brendan reports that Haq, being represented by a public defender who was there for all this afternoon’s defendants, was dressed in grayish orange jail issue garb and shackled at the feet. Haq was calm, thick-set, with short hair, and bald on top.
“Your guy is being kept in N7LC,” an officer told Brendan. “That’s the most highly isolated are of the jail, the psych isolation area. You can see everything, everything’s made of glass, everyone’s alone.”
There’s a press conference at 3:30. We will give a full update then.
Brendan spoke to a bail bondsman before the hearing (there were about four bondsmen hanging out in the hearing room). Brendan asked the guy how much he guessed Haq’s bail would be, and the bondsman guessed $10 million. When the judge set it at $50 million, you could hear the bondsmen whistling through their teeth.
They should light his ass on fire and throw him off a high building. Islamo-terrorists are mentally ill idiots who need to be exterminated. Israel is cleaning out Lebanon for us Americans so we can kick back and enjoy our lives. Thanks to everyone at the Stranger for keeping the blog on point and the discussion pro-Israel. That is as it should be.
