Court Update Appearance set for Tuesday Oct 28

The court has scheduled a motion hearing for Tuesday morning October 28th at 8:30am. The hearing is listed on the court website as a hearing for modification of bail. The purpose of this hearing is to correct an error that was made when bail was posted in the amount of $20,000 cash on October 2nd. bail was posted by Sandra Coffin who at this time we do not know the relationship she has to the killer.

The bail was posted by:

Sandra Coffin
1730 N Arlington Pl
Milwaukee, WI 53202

Allow me to explain what change is needed, back when on the court appearance on September 10th the Court Commissioner set bail in the amount of $20,000 with the following conditions: 1) that she not drive and that she maintains absolute sobriety, 2) no use of any alcohol, no use of any controlled substances without a valid prescription. As part of watching over Mikey's case besides making sure we have someone at every court date to monitor what is said, I also check the official court file anytime something is added to insure it has been done correctly. During a routine check of the court file it was noticed that the bail paper work filed did not contain the Conditions of Release ordered in court. The transcripts of the appearance were reviewed to make sure what I heard in court was correct, then we then notified the District Attorneys office who has scheduled Tuesday's appearance to correct the issue.

As she is now out on bail, I would like to make one thing clear for my Michigan friends as our bail system works differently from yours. To get out of jail she had to have someone post $20,000 in cash. Wisconsin law will not allow bond to be posted by a bail bondsman were only a portion needs to be posted like in Michigan.

Things have been busy over on this side of the lake but let me tell you nothing and I mean nothing slips by in this case! I am just one of many of Mikey's angels watching over everything that happens! We are well organized and the network communicates fast when anything happens. Often I have been the one to follow up on issues but there is no way we would be able to be as effective as we are with out the many eyes and ears of the Mikey angel network that report everything that they see. Though the blog might only have activity when major things are happening the watch is always watching.

This morning I am off to Madison to work with ABATE of Wisconsin at a Grassroots Lobbyist Training session. On Monday I will be in the halls of our State Capitol working with our legislators to make our roads safer. Then Tuesday morning I will again be sitting in the front row of the court room watching over things for Mikey at the killers court appearance. Details of the court appearance will be posted here Tuesday morning.
