Sympathy for the devil


Texas murder suspect's bail reduced from $800,000 to $200; he's released after paying cash. Gov. Abbott is not happy.

'This is outrageous.'

A Texas murder suspect was released from jail last week after his bail was reduced from $800,000 to $200, KEYE-TV reported.

The station on Friday noted the drastic bail reduction for 19-year-old Stephon Martin Morson of Austin; Morson was charged in connection with the October death of 20-year-old Keshawn Cage, who was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the southeastern part of the city.

'I’ve lost confidence in the system. I just don’t think I can confidently say they are doing everything in their power to keep people like this behind bars.'

Travis County Jail told Fox News that Morson was booked Nov. 6 and charged with murder and tamper/fabricate physical evidence.
