Richard Powers is allowed bail! Relieved this Judge is so far fair - Gary Michelson

UPDATE: I was hoping they'd update Pacer so I could just post that but no. The below is what happened at the hearing.

Powers granted bail pending the posting of a $750K property bond on his behalf.  Could be out of jail in a week but after all the games the DA played in the criminal case with bail it may be longer.

At the hearing Judge Sagar listed the following "special circumstances" for bail release.

1.  There is cause to believe this is a case of double jeopardy and would be in Richard's favor to overturn an extradition claim by Costa Rica.

2.  There is an apparent lack of "diplomatic necessity" from Costa Rica based on the facts presented which show it was nearly ten years since the original criminal complaint was filed in Costa Rica to the time that a request was officially made from the Costa Rican government in April, 2017.

3.  Based on all the letters received from family and friends, as well as the strong showing of support in the courtroom, the court finds that Richard has strong family support and ties to the community, which has been ruled in other cases as a "special circumstance." Thanks to everyone who showed up at the hearing!

4.  The last "special circumstance" cited by the judge was that it is clear from the record that Richard never attempted to flee and even when on bail during the criminal case for nearly four years (he was released on bail Sept 5, 2013), demonstrated that he was abiding by the law, and therefore should not be considered a flight risk.

The US attorney made a pretty desperate plea to the Judge as to why Richard should not be allowed bail. Judge didn't budge. Gary will probably be fuming, ranting and raving at his "justice consultant" Steve Cooley and the US Attorney.  For the US attorney to make a desperate plea when he knows he's in the wrong shows the level of corruption. Same happened in the US criminal case.

This of course means nothing at the moment. Previous Judges acted fair for a hearing or two only to cave later to political pressure.

Another friend of Richard's sent in a glowing letter for him. It was filed with Pacer.
