And is now in hiding. I would almost be willing to make a hefty wager that he ends up walking after the trial. George Floyd was already dead before they laid a hand on him, he just didn't know it yet. The toxicology showed he had lethal doses of fentanyl in his system along with other drugs. It just amazes me that months and months of this bullshit resulted from a self induced overdose victim. It is only going to get worse when/if this guy walks.

Isn't bail money non-refundable in the US? so even if you are found innocent after, the state keeps the money. lmao

No, it is refundable either way. But if he used a bail bondman then whatever fee they were paid he won't get back.

Edit: bondsman... not bondman.

Ah okay. I heard this before, thanks for correcting me. So if it's a premium to a bondsman it's non-refundable, which I'm guessing is what he got. But even if they're found guilty the money is refunded otherwise if paid in cash.

If he doesn't show up for court then he ends up forfeiting the money though.
