(Kenosha County Sheriff)
KENOSHA, Wis. — The cash bail for Marco A. Infusino — the 25-year-old Kenosha man accused of leading police on a 115 mph chase into Illinois — has been lowered twice in the span of just over a week. Court Commissioner William Michel initially signed a $75,000 arrest warrant, then set bail at $50,000 during Infusino’s July 2 court appearance. Eight days later, Michel reduced the bail again to $15,000. The full amount was posted on July 11, and Infusino is now free pending trial.

So let me get this straight… Commissioner Michel (D) starts with a $75,000 warrant, drops it to $50,000, then just eight days later slashes it to $15,000? What gives? Who does this guy know? Who does he owe money to? A favor, perhaps? At this rate, next time it’ll come with a coupon and a punch card. Commissioner Michel, the public deserves an explanation, because that math ain’t mathin’!
The explanation was probably given in court. $15k is plenty. Bail doesn’t buy dismissal of the case, you know. This ain’t TV.
Hey Kevin , there was a whole slew of comments on this article on here this morning . Where did they go ?
I issued a correction. I previously wrote that judge Gabriele lowered the bell but I was incorrect. When I republished the article, all of the comments went away. Which I think is fair because people were commenting on incorrect information.
Fair
That’s cool . Thank you.
The 75K and 50K bail amounts appear quite excessive based on the charges, unless there are priors.
What does that say about the Commissioner William Michel ??
Is this inexperience ? His own ?
Lack of correct information from the start ? Someone else’s lack of experience ?
New information after ?
Pleading by the family or Lawyer ?
Are these parents helicopter parents ?
Bulldozer parents who plow all obstacles away in front of their children ?
Or is this kid otherwise perfect and has other people who depend on him and just had one bad day in his life ?
Commissioner William Michel. Can you tell us what changed your mind ? Twice !
Jeez, we appreciate your observance , but you really talk too much!
Hilarious! Why would you ask that cat, “Who else is in the car?” Are you really going to believe him? It’s too much.
All of the wannabe lawyers and judges are so funny. Every case is fact specific and nuanced. Most don’t understand the law or reason for bail. Did any of you read the Mike Chicchi’s article
Sure did read that article. And he clearly states that bail is basically so that they are guaranteed to show up for court! This judges palms are being greased, it aint rocket science! Look at the kids last name!
Are you seriously claiming that someone is slipping the commissioner money? As long as you mentioned “science,” where is your “evidence” for this claim?
Also, if the kid shows up for all of his court dates, would you then admit that the $15k was a sufficient amount of bail?
I don’t believe that is the issue here.I believe the issue is why was this particular individuals bail lowered repeatedly?
Is he related to the Infusino restaurant family?
Mom owns Hair International
Dad owns Infusino’s in Kenosha
Someone called in a favor
