Trucker in Taylor U. Crash Requests Another Bond Reduction

The Michigan truck driver who faces charges in the deaths of four Taylor University students and one employee has asked for another reduction in his bail. Last month, a judge reduced the 37-year-old man’s bail from 135-thousand dollars to 75-thousand. But the trucker still didn’t have enough money to buy a bail bond. His lawyer says local citizens have donated enough money to buy a 44-thousand dollar bond and that’s why he has asked the court to reduce bail to that amount. The Grant County prosecutor has objected to the request. The judge plans to hear arguments on the issue later this month.
