run his feet through the sand and enjoy the beautiful beaches of the bahamas while we have a man laying dead in the street crying out for justice. how separated can you be from the community? joining me right now, former prosecutor and civil attorney john, it s good to have you with me. the judge allowing bates to take a pre-planned vacation. is that out of ordinary if the the subject is allowed to put in their plea and allowed to be released on bond? no it isn t. second degree manslaughter he s posted bail 73 years old and deep roots in the community. he s a minimal flight risk. if he were choosing to flee they would find him easily. the judge took this into consideration and felt it was a pretty safe bet to let him make his trip. the optics are absolutely horrible as we hear from andre harris and his family.
it shows the consistency here of his relationship with the community as being detached. i don t see any real true sympathy for a man that can gun a a 73-year-old man gun a man down in the streets with a 357 that they can t prove he had records to even have and after my brother is not even my brother hasn t been put in the ground yet, you know. this man wants to take a trip to bahamas where he can run his feet through the sand and enjoy the beautiful beaches of the bahamas while we have a man laying dead in the street crying out for justice? we will get justice. the fbi has cleared the oklahoma deputy of violating civil rights in this case of the fact your brother was unarmed and dealing with the fact bates was just a volunteer.
