Charged with being an accessory after the fact and possessing ammo, he allegedly tampered with reports and removed critical evidence. Despite prosecution fears he’ll interfere with the investigation, a magistrate granted bail with strict conditions: no work, no police contact without permission, no witness tampering, and passport surrender within days. The case is now delayed until August 2026 to allow further investigation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
