11/21/23 Update: Floyd: Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee declined a request to revoke the bond for Floyd. Willis filed a motion last week asking Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to revoke Floyd’s bond. In her first in-person appearance in this case since the indictment, she argued in court that Floyd has been attempting to intimidate & contact likely witnesses & his co-defendants in violation of the terms of his release. Floyd’s lawyers argued that his social media posts are constitutionally protected speech & that he was in no way trying communicate with or intimidate any witness or co-defendant. McAfee said there is no constitutional right to bail & that bond orders can contain conditions that curtail a defendant’s rights, but he also noted that people are generally allowed to publicly criticize the merits of the case but cannot cross a line. He said Floyd appears “very boldly willing to explore where that line is” in this case. McAfee said he did believe there had been a “technical violation” of Floyd’s bond conditions but that not all violations merit revocation. After discussion with the lawyers & over some objections from Floyd’s attorneys, McAfee signed a modified bond order proposed by prosecutors. The new bond conditions say Floyd shall have “no contact” with or do anything to intimidate any co-defendant, witness or person named in the indictment. They also prohibit him from making any public statement about any of those people & from posting anything about them or contacting them in any way on social media. That includes not interacting with a post by any other user that would violate the order if he had been the one who posted it.
