In Adolfo Lopez v. State of Indiana, a 7-page opinion, Judge Crone writes:
Adolfo Lopez appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion for bond reduction. Lopez and 108 other individuals were charged with numerous nonviolent crimes involving a chain of Acapulco Mexican restaurants co-owned by Lopez. Specifically, Lopez was charged with six class C felonies and four class D felonies. The trial court set Lopez’s bond at $3,000,000 surety plus $250,000 cash. On appeal, Lopez asserts the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion for bond reduction. Finding the bond excessive, we conclude that the trial court abused its discretion when it denied the motion for reduction. Therefore, we reverse and remand.For the complete Court of Appeals opinion go to:
