Murder Plot Suspect Can't Afford Freedom
30 Jun
Summary
- Accused accomplice seeks bail reduction from $2 million.
- Defendant claims he has only $6,400 and lives paycheck to paycheck.
- He is willing to accept GPS monitoring and passport surrender.
Kai Cordrey, identified as an alleged accomplice in a murder-for-hire plot targeting singer Jack Avery, has petitioned a judge to lower his substantial $2 million bail. Cordrey asserts that his current financial situation prevents him from posting bond, leading to his continued incarceration since May. He seeks a reduction to $100,000, a sum he believes is more attainable.
Court documents reveal that Cordrey's legal team highlighted his clean criminal record and prior employment as a plumber's apprentice. They stated he possesses approximately $6,400 in his bank account and owns no significant assets. The defense is arguing for the bail reduction by offering strict conditions, including GPS monitoring and relinquishing his passport, to ensure his compliance with the court.
The prosecution's allegations involve a conspiracy by Cordrey, Gabbie Gonzalez, and Francisco Gonzalez to hire a hitman via the dark web during a custody dispute. All defendants have entered pleas of not guilty. The judge will now consider Cordrey's financial circumstances and proposed conditions before making a decision on the bail amount.
