    UPDATE: My sincerest apologies to all Washingtonians/people of the Pacific Northwest for my incorrect pronunciation of "Spokane"!! 😂😅
    For all the times I had read about the place, I don't think I ever heard it pronounced (or at least, didn't notice its pronunciation). I actually really try to make an effort to get all proper names of people/places correct as much as possible (when you grow up with a name as different as mine, it tends to come with the territory). Thank you to all the people who kindly informed me on this one. Proper pronunciation will be noted for the future, promise!! 😇

      From what I seen in the past it's possible for a murder suspect to get a bond, albeit a really high one, if they have a clean or relative clean record. Remember the couple were fighting over a $2 million estate and I wouldn't be surprised if he used some of that for the bond.

    Spokane international airport is not actually international, except for cargo. So his first destination would have been domestic. He was likely heading to SeaTac and then perhaps on to Alaska. He’d flown that route many, many times. It would get him far away without need of a passport

    Can you comment on it being a “property bond”? On the Kootenai County court website they have his bond listed as property, conditions and amounts. While Spokane (WA) is less than an hour from Kootenai county (Idaho) it was clear he was not allowed to be within 2 miles of airport. No international flights out but there was Alaskan flights where he found work after having to leave his trooper job for lots of “integrity” issues. 😅 Grizzly TC has great coverage but would love to hear your legal view as well.

    Yes it seems shady as heck, of course, but… idunno… I don’t like the idea that it’s legally automatically regarded as the person “knowing that they are guilty”.
    If you know that evidence is stacked against you even though you also know you are innocent, you might well flee because you don’t have any faith in the system. Which is, to be frank, VERY FAIR.

      He violated his bond in an attempt to flee the jurisdiction. I would think that everywhere that would be considered evidence of consciousness of guilt, even if there is 'more to the story'. I
      To me personally (if I was a juror) it would have to be a pretty convincing reason to not draw the conclusion that he was trying to flee because he did what he was accused of. It would be one more puzzle piece in overcoming reasonable doubt. Not 100%, but it would contribute.

    Elizabeth Holmes could do it and she got away with it. Set a precedent.
    I'll never understand the entire idea of bond. If someone's enough of a suspect to arrest them and put them on trial, there should be enough reason to keep them incarcerated until the trial is completed (and after that if actually convicted).
    If there isn't enough to keep them incarcerated, there shouldn't be reason to drag them in front of a court.
    Same thing with plea bargains. The entire concept is sickening and only leads to perversions of justice (both in favour and to the detriment of the defendant).
