motion hearing

I just heard on the news about a pair of sisters that recently appeared in court, being accused of a string of purse snatching with some violence involved. Their bond was set at $75,000 each!!! Isn't our justice system amazing?? $75,000 bond for a bunch of purse snatchers! And Alan Mompoint's bond was set at only $2,000! He took a life! Wow!

Anyway, I recently received my usual form letter from the state attorney's office. However, this one is a little different:
