James 'Val' Cotter, Brad Simpson's longtime business partner, had his bail reduced to $100,000 by Judge Miguel Najera on Thursday.
The business associate of missing real estate agent Suzanne Simpson 's husband has had his bail significantly reduced — from $1 million to $100,000. James 'Val' Cotter, Brad Simpson 's longtime business partner, was in court this week for a bond reduction hearing. On Thursday, without a new hearing, Judge Miguel Najera reduced the bail for each charge to $50,000, court records show. Cotter, who is accused of hiding Brad Simpson 's gun, was arrested on Oct.
The search for Suzanne Simpson On Monday, prosecutor Casey Sandoval said Cotter's original bail amount was necessary. She said Cotter lied to authorities twice about the weapon to try to shield Brad Simpson. 'He has shown he is going to do everything it takes to protect ,' Sandoval said. But Cotter's attorney, Robert Maurer, told Judge Miguel Najera that Cotter's bail amount was unusual and oppressive.
