Parolee shoots 3 people and murders 1 of them in a drug related killing. Judge lets him set bond when he could be getting lethal injection or going to prison for life. A $250,000 bond may matter to some people, but probably not the guy facing the death penalty if he's got some drug money he can post. We can be thanksful that he wasn't a high level dealer with that kind of money, because guys that desperate will often not hesitate a second to shoot a cop trying to bring them back in.
