What are his chances to get the bond reduced?
Reduced to $250,000, per his request? Slim to none, IMO. Considering the original bond, I find the amount he requested laughable. (He is asking for a reduction of appox. 95% of the original bond.)
It's possible it might get reduced some but if it does, I would still think it would be somewhere in the $2 - $2.5 million mark (IOW, maybe half). But that is no more than a guess based on experience.
It depends on several factors: 1) the strength of the SAO's arguments, 2) the strength of the defense's arguments, and 3.) most importantly, the Judge.
Personally, I will be stunned if it is reduced enough that Mark would be able to secure the funds.
ALWAYSSHOCKED...Well said!! If you can bear to listen to BS interviews one more time (something I do not recommend, btw..."gaslighting" must contain a genetic component?) the constant repeat of the words "they were so committed" ...."committed to each other"Oh, there is very little question that MS is a sociopath, IMO. Huh, just ask his neighbors.
As for the family of TS - her mother, her sister and her brother - why do I think they had MS AND his mother pegged early on. They would have seen those two BS interviews at the same time we did. And they would have known more than we did at the time that BS was slinging a load of "BS" when she described the marriage to LE as being so "perfect".
Who knows where BS is coming from in filing this motion? I hope the Judge slaps her right down.
I wish his neighbors could speak and let the Judge know all the antics he did to include the roof top incident, being in their yards, etc. What he did and does speaks volumes.
There should be such a thing.
IF he should get a bail reduction to $1m (ridiculous imo), 10% is needed to secure bond. $100,000 cash - BS home as collateral? Maybe MS has money stashed in offshore account?
He couldn't use Jarvis home since it may be likely that the IRS is close to having a lien on it. Wonder if he made the required payment to prevent that? Doubt it.
Lots of money for lawyer - I could see one performing pro bono with the idea of 40% of the insurance funds if he gets MS off. Lawyer taking a gamble for a big payday, some do.
IF MS should be acquitted of murder, even on technicality, there are many other charges to ding-dong him with if certain entities desired. IRS, Federal government, State government, Civil Case wrongful death, etc.
Watching tv last night, one murderer was indicted on the federal wire issue because he and his hired hand used the telephone to plan the murder. Yep.
Those fools left so many breadcrumbs, that even if no witnesses had come forward, I believe all three would have been caught anyway and without too much time. The witnesses provided awesome information, so please don't misunderstand me - it's fabulous! Just saying that those juvenile communications between the dopes ...
LE must have been getting face cramps from rolling their eyes (I'd be doing the happy dance if this wasn't a disgusting murder) every time something new and stupid was discovered.
Thank you, GreaterThan! I was making calls yesterday to find out if the date had been set.
View attachment 91877
Set for the morning session which begins at 8:30am in Judge Kyle Bruce's courtroom.
HOWEVER, there are 2 brief hearings set before MS's motion to reduce bond. The docket times indicated are just estimates of time the judge expects each one to take. If the estimates are close to accurate it means his hearing would begin around 10:00am eastern.
Keep in mind either of those set before his could be rescheduled. Pretty sure that Mark's will not be, so to be safe, expect this hearing to take place that morning sometime after 8:30am eastern
Maybe this guy is a sociopath, sliding into a new role for each audience. Quote from the Laundry Hag book that I am reading. Very good, BTW. Funny mystery.
Why not file a Wrongful Death suit against all 3 of these losers now?
MS and his buds would additional $$$ for representation of that kind of case as well.
TS family could begin eating up any available $$$ now to prevent accessible $$$ for bail, etc.
The timing of filing a wrongful death suit is bad. Specifically talking about MS here - as we all know he is currently facing serious criminal charges - 2nd degree murder and conspiracy . Nearly anything the plaintiffs' would want to ask in a depo, Mark could invoke his 5th amendment privilege. (right to decline to answer because it could incriminate him).
Remember the Goldman's wrongful death suit against OJ Simpson? They waited to file that suit AFTER a verdict was rendered in the criminal trial for good reason. And they won that civil case. Big time. OJ could no longer invoke the 5th and refuse to answer their questions since he had already been acquitted.
Very true, thank you, beach! On the other hand, they will have to file within 2 years since TS' death due to Statutes of Limitations in Florida. The limitations vary in different states. Just a heads up.

Actually, it seems from paragraph 10 of that statute that there is NO statute of limitations if the wrongful death is a result of murder.
"(10) FOR INTENTIONAL TORTS RESULTING IN DEATH FROM ACTS DESCRIBED IN S. 782.04 OR S. 782.07.Notwithstanding paragraph (4)(d), an action for wrongful death seeking damages authorized under s. 768.21 brought against a natural person for an intentional tort resulting in death from acts described in s. 782.04 or s. 782.07 may be commenced at any time. This subsection shall not be construed to require an arrest, the filing of formal criminal charges, or a conviction for a violation of s. 782.04 or s. 782.07 as a condition for filing a civil action."
(782.04 is the murder statute.)
