On behalf of the Cincinnati NAACP, President Christopher Smitherman is proud to announce that Attorney Elizabeth Tye was successful yesterday in her motion to get the bond lowered for Mr. Reed, a 19 year-old, African American man charged with Child Endangerment. Judge Mock heard the case after postponing it Monday for further consideration. His decision yesterday was fair. The bond was lowered from $500,000 straight to an O.R. Bond with a monitoring device. Mr. Reed should go home today or tomorrow after his mother secures a telephone line in her home. |
