On Wednesday night, the petition hit that total and is now looking for 1,500 signatures. At the time of writing this article, it had more than 1,200 signatures and continued to rise.
While the Warners are set to be released from prison, there are stipulations they must follow in order to stay on bond. Per court records, the Warners must post $100,000 each as bond; this can be either $100,000 cash, or through a bondsmen which acts as surety and pledges money to cover the bond.
The Court of Appeals also placed requirements for bond that do not allow the Warners to operate a vehicle, or consume alcohol or illegal drugs. Additionally, the Warners must follow other pretrial and non-financial conditions, which includes not making contact with the victim, Colton Gray, or his family.
