Judge increases bonds and orders GPS for Charles Molineux after new charge; plea deadline set
Summary
After a new offense was added, the court granted the state's motion to increase Charles Molineux's bonds to $8,000 per cause and ordered full GPS monitoring; the plea deadline was extended to Oct. 2.
The court granted the state's motion to increase bond amounts for defendant Charles Molineux after the state reported a newly filed offense. The judge set the new bond at $8,000 in each affected cause number and ordered full GPS monitoring, waiving GPS fees.
Prosecutors asked the court to double earlier $4,000 bonds that had been set at a prior hearing, citing the subsequent filing of a new felony. Defense counsel argued there were factual disputes and requested relief from increasing bond levels. Judge Stephanie Boyd said she would grant the state's motion, increased bond amounts, and added GPS monitoring as a condition of release. The court also extended the plea deadline to Oct. 2 and stated the extension would not be extended further.
The order waives GPS fees and adds GPS as a supervision condition. No witnesses were called at the bond-setting hearing; the court resolved the procedural motion on argument.
Defense counsel did not object to the GPS requirement and the court confirmed the October 2 plea-deadline setting.
