Court Commissioner William Michel is worthless!!! He is going to get someone killed with his low bail amounts.
It’s good to see that the judiciary is not in lock-step with the DA’s office. We need that level of independence. And seriously, he’s not accused of creating these photos — it’s not even clear that he, personally, possessed them. Too few details to judge at this point. But I think the $100,000.00 set by the commissioner is MORE than sufficient — probably excessive. In all likelihood, the cat ain’t postin’ it. On top of that, not sure why everyone is so obsessed with the bail amount.
