As reported here before there was a court appearance for a motion hearing for modification of bail this morning at 8:30am. The purpose of the hearing was just to make clear in the bail paper work the conditions of release the court order at the hearing on October 2nd.
The case was called on the record and under agreement by both parties a new Bail / Bond form was filed and signed the Defendant, the Surety (one who posted the bail) and the Judge. Attached to the agreement was a page with the following conditions clearly listed:
1) The defendant shall not drive or operate a motor vehicle, and,
2) The defendant shall maintain absolute sobriety meaning the defendant may not ingest or consume alcohol, and,
3) The defendant shall not ingest or consume any controlled substances or prescription drugs with out a valid prescription.
What was done to day did not change any of the conditions of the bail, it just dotting the I's and crossing the T's to make sure if some thing happens there are no loopholes.
Then next court appearance is scheduled for January 9, 2008 at 8:30am for a final pre-trial conference.

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.

Ann Arbor American HOG Chapter Memorial Ride Oct 8, 2008
Mikey's Memorial Ride Ann Arbor October 8, 2008On Sunday, Oct. 8th, 2008 the Ann Arbor American Chapter of HOG conducted a motorcycle ride to honor our long time member and friend, Mikey Fleming. Mike lost his life in Milwaukee during the Harley-Davidson 105th celebration after being run down by a drunk driver. Mike was loved by all in our chapter and loosing him was like loosing a member of the family. The ride which was put together by member and friend, Jerry Bibbs went from the restaurant where we have our Chapter meetings on the west side of Ann Arbor, to the Plymouth Chili Cookoff, in Plymouth Michigan. Total length was about 74 miles. Mikey always enjoyed the Cookoff. That is why it was chosen as a destination.
We all lined up after the Chapter meeting in 4 groups. We always keep the size of the groups to ten or less unless we have a police escort for safety reasons. I would estimate that we had 35-40 bikes total that went on the group ride. Not bad concidering that it was 31 degrees when I left my house that morning. 
Rick LaValley, the husband of Dora, Mikey's cousin, joined us as a honored guest. This was his first group ride, and he did just fine thank you. Jerry had set up a very nice, scenic route that went south from the restaurant, swung around to the west catching the edges of the towns of Chelsea and Dexter, then followed one of the area's favorite biking roads, North Territorial Rd., into the city of Plymouth. After parking in Plymouth, we all broke up into smaller groups to have some chili, view the bike show or listen to the bands that were playing.
We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful, crisp fall day to take a great ride, to pay our last respects to a wonderful man, Mike Fleming. He is greatly missed by all of us in our Chapter and for those of us who were very close to Mikey, his passing has left a huge void in our lives. Farewell Mikey. We miss you!

Report from Thursdays Court Appearance
This mornings court appearance was a scheduling conference to set dates for how the case will progress through the court and it's calender. The killer was in the courtroom this time as she was released on $20,000 cash bail over this past weekend.
The court set the following dates for the case moving forward a final pretrial date of Friday January 9th at 8:30am, this is the latest date any motions to limit or throw out any evidence or testimony can be made. A trial by Jury has been set for Monday February 2nd at 10:00am.
Like the last court appearance the judge called the case on the record and informed both attorneys that he knew a person that was quoted in the paper regarding the case. That person is not set to be called as a witness and will not create a need for him to remove himself from the case. The judge went over this information again this time because the defendant was in the courtroom and he wanted to be sure she understood and had no issue with it. Her attorney said he talked to her about it and she agreed that his knowing the person quoted in the paper should not be a problem.
