The Texas judge sets a bond for the second suspect in killing the deputy after the first posts

A Texas Judge, which was described as “Rogue” and an activist by the Union of Police Officers in Houston, remains under fire after putting the connection for the second suspect accused of capital murder in the death of Harris county, Fernando Esqueda.

Judge Hilary User from the Criminal Court of 248 district of Harris County set off on Thursdays at $ 3 million for Ronnie Palmer on Thursday, according to a court of the court shared by the Harris County Deputies (HCDO). Palmer has been in prison in July, with no connection with this accusation so far.

In addition to the accusation of capital murder, he also faces two charges of aggression aggravated with a deadly weapon in Esqueda’s death. The obligation for these taxes is established at $ 50,000 each.

User’s controversial movement comes one day after the other suspicious in Esqueda’s crime, Dremone Francisc, was released from prison after posting the $ 1 million obligations established in November 2024.

HCDO criticized HCDO on Wednesday, when Francis was released from prison and came after her on Thursday, when he tied for Palmer.

“If you were outraged yesterday, just wait for Judge Hilary Uger today. A connection was established for Ronny (Sic) Palmer, who is accused of killing Deputy Fernando Esqueda. Now we are beyond indignation, this is a disgrace,” wrote the organization on X.

“They made it very difficult for the judge, because it is not the one who established the connection,” said Cheryl Irvin. “The obligation was established and no one opposed it from the district lawyer’s office from the previous administration.”

Local selling points reported That the state of Texas submitted an obvious proof hearing when Francis was arrested in July 2024, which would not have made any option. This hearing had to happen in 10 days, but since he did not do it, Francis became eligible for Bond, and his lawyer asked to be established. It is not clear why the state did not continue with the hearing.

“People have rights. No matter what you think people have done, you still have a right. A right is the 8th amendment the right to a reasonable bail. And the reasonable bail was established for the codefandant, and he did the bail,” Irvin told Fox 26. “No one should be objected to this.
