Yep Carm, especially after knowing what we do now about the two men.
Mardis shooting suspect soon could be out of jail
By Melissa Gregory | TheNewsStar.com | November 11, 2015, 5:36PMOne of the two suspects in the shooting death of 6-year-old Jeremy David Mardis may bail out of jail soon, but exactly how does that process work?
Bond for Norris Greenhouse Jr., 23, was set at $1 million on charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder. He, along with fellow Marksville city Ward 2 deputy marshal Derrick Stafford, are accused of firing as many as 18 shots at a vehicle driven by Jeremy’s father, Chris Few, on the night of Nov. 3.

Avoyelles Parish Sheriff Doug Anderson told WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge on Tuesday that he’d be mortgaging property owned by the Greenhouse family in both Avoyelles and East Baton Rouge parishes so that Greenhouse Jr. could be released until his trial. It’s not clear which facility he would be released from whenever that bond is paid.
The earliest Greenhouse Jr. could be released would be Thursday since Wednesday — Veterans Day — was a holiday. Some businesses and most public offices are closed on that day.
Karen Kojis, who works at Guillory Bail Bonds in Alexandria, said that follows procedure since officials must make sure that bonds secured by property have clear titles.
Kojis explained how the bond process works for The Town Talk. Businesses providing bonds — or bail, the terms are interchangeable, says Kojis — are regulated by the Louisiana Department of Insurance.
