We were willing to put up the bond for him, but there is no bond. They haven't established what he did yet, so he must sit there until they do. I'm telling you it's all a vicious circle. Since he's been in jail for over two months, he has no income, plus the lost of previously paid college classes. So he's using a public defender. I'm not sure what his parents financial status is, I always assumed they were quite comfortable as the reason he lives in this area is because his parents have a vacation home nearby on an exclusive lake. I know the economy is bad, but I'd be doing everything I could to get this straightened out if this was my child. Heck, I am doing everything I can and he's not even my kid!

My husband did some extensive investigation and gave his father the names of some good local lawyers in the area. This was months ago. I don't think anyone expected it to drag out this long.
