CLEVELAND — The Cleveland family of 27-year-old Britney Napier has been left with frustration and anguish after the man charged with shooting Britney in the head was released on bond three days after the March 25 incident.
“I’m angry, my daughter is in the hospital fighting for her life and this guys been out for a week now. He shot my daughter on Saturday and he got out Monday morning," Gomez said. “He gets to walk around like nothing happened. I don’t think that’s right, he should be in jail at least until court.” Cleveland Municipal Court told News 5 that pre-trial services determine a defendant's"flight risk" based on a wide variety of factors to help ensure a person charged will show up for court. The court said judges set bonds based on a predetermined schedule of criteria based on the charges filed by the prosecutor's office.
Still, Napier's Aunt, Elly Carpenter believes the guidelines on how bonds are set in cases involving firearms and serious injuries must be changed.
