    Justice really doesn’t exist in this country. A gun crime.. If it was a police officer that made an error of judgment going after criminals like the accused you would have seen… That country boy….. Hmmm

    Imaging the charge is not attempted murder. What a country

      The offenses of intent to cause grievous bodily harm and attempted murder both carry the same penalty while the former is easier to prove. Bail is the transfer of an accused from the custody of the state to the custody of the surety and so we’r should not be upset at the granting of bail

    Wow! While I understand that bail is not meant to convey the innocence of one charged with a crime, I am disappointed that after such a violent gun crime this man would be allowed bail. Sometimes, I wonder what these magistrates are thinking.
