Real Friends: Murder Suspect Posts Unprecedented $35 Million Bail Through FriendsDog, if I had friends like this I know for damn sure I wouldn't be getting caught up in no murder case!Tiffany Li, from California, has been charged with the murder of the father of her two children. Her judge set bail and an astounding $35 million. It is one of the highest bails set in state history. I doubt that judge thought she would actually pay it through the help of her family, friends and associates.
This week, Li posted the bail with the help of wealthy friends, family and associates with ties to China who reportedly managed to raise $4 million cash as well as pledge $62 million in property, the AP reports.In California, twice the bail amount is required when property is used instead of cash.The $35 million bail is reportedly the most ever in San Mateo County, and one of the highest ever reported in the U.S.Prosecutors originally asked for no bail at all in part because of Li's family wealth before settling on a $100 million bail request. According to San Mateo District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, prosecutors fear she'll flee to her native China."If convicted, she faces the rest of her life in prison," Wagstaffe said. "That's plenty enough incentive to flee back to her native China."Li has pleaded not guilty to charges she conspired to murder Green, whose body was found May 11, 2016 in Sonoma County.Li's attorney, Geoff Carr, said the people who posted Li's bail believe she is innocent and will not flee."She is well-liked in the community and is a straight shooter. I think people believe she is not guilty," he told the Los Angeles Times. -(Yahoo! News)
