The Latest: Lawyer blasts $50 million bail for church leader
[FoxNews] The Latest on the arrest on child rape charges of Naasón Joaquín García, the leader of the La Luz del Mundo church (all times local):6 P.M. An attorney for the leader of a Mexico-based evangelical church says his client's $50 million bail on charges of child rape and human trafficking is "outrageous" and unreasonable. No pleas were entered Wednesday at a hearing for Naasón Joaquín García, the head of La Luz del Mundo, and two followers in Los Angeles. The judge left García's bail at $50 million and ordered them back to court Monday for arraignment. García's bail had been raised from $25 million to $50 million Tuesday after investigators completed more search warrants. García answered the judge's questions through a Spanish interpreter while his co-defendants responded softly in English. His family waved to him as he was being led out of the courtroom before a bailiff admonished them. About two dozen family members and congregants came to the hearing. Posted by: Skidmark 2019-06-06 |
