Re: Our lawyer
85K on intent to sell grass sounds a bit high to me. You should be having a bond hearing. At the hearing, factors that will move the Court are ties to the community, owns land, family here, job, etc.
Basically, the idea is to set a bond high enough that it insures his appearance at trial, but not so high that he will never be able to make it. Without a history of "failure to appear", he should have a "reasonable" bond.
I suppose if we are talking about a ton of grass, 85K might be OK, but 10K is more realistic, and probably lower is appropriate.
If I may be of assistance, please feel free to call.
