for the bond hearing, the judge decides if he/she will grant bail and if so, how much. that is all based on what the DA argues regarding the accused i.e. they are a flight risk and threat to the community. the defendants lawyer gets to rebut based on whatever evidence they have to prove the contrary. it is also called an arraignment, IIRC.
i hope the judge doesn't set bond for them. more than a threat to the community, i believe these two will flee.
I completely agree. More than being a threat to the community, which they undoubtedly are, I believe if they post bond, there is a good chance we may never see them again. Or for a good while, anyway.
I find it hard to believe they would stick around for the trial...

i really don't think that they will be granted bail, but lets say they are it's going to be an enormous amount. maybe one will be able to make bail, but both? i could see bail being a million dollars here. do they have that kind of money if they both have public defenders?
ETA: Casey Anthony's bond was 500k...she needed someone to post 10% of this...
seriously, thinking out loud to myself...they are not going to get bail...with all the traveling these two do, they are a flight risk.
Again, I completely agree.
Just wanted to add, that thanks to bail bondsman shopping here in Horry County, you can get a bail bondsman for *way* less than 10%. In some cases even less than 5%. I've seen bail bondsman post bail for as low as 1.5% / 2%. For violent criminals, none the less. Its unbelievable, but happens every day.

good point! you would hope that the HCPD kept a careful eye on them and followed them before they were arrested though. but, yes. i can see paranoia getting the best of them. at that point if they get and make bail, they will have to wear a device around their leg so LE could track their every move.
also, i hope that LE is tracking family members too...who knows maybe they've coerced family members to move evidence for them while they are in jail.
again, i don't see that happening. no bail!
please LORD answer my prayers - find Heather!
I think if by some small miracle they are granted bond, and are able to post it, you will see them on GPS tracking devices. And these are accurate to within 10 feet. They would be able to not only tell if they are at home, but exactly where in the home they are. They would have very limited movements, all of which would have to be approved before hand.
Not to say they couldn't / wouldn't cut them off and flee. But if they were to walk out of jail before the trial, I'm pretty sure LE would be keeping extremely close tabs on these two.
