Bail set at $75K for man facing retrial for attempted murder
Persisting, Caro asked if he could appeal the verdict. That was May 2019.
In September 2020, a three-judge panel from the 5th District Court of Appeal decided to set aside Caro s guilty verdict, and so a new trial is on the horizon.
Now the question is: Should Caro be allowed to be free while he awaits his new trial.
Last week, appearing at a hearing by phone from prison, Caro was briefly questioned by his lawyer, Michael Reiter. If granted bail, the lawyer said, what would Caro do?
Caro, 34, said he would live with his mother, stepfather and brother in Summerfield, the same residence he was staying when he was arrested. He would get a job. He promised he would appear at every hearing.
