Prosecutors had asked that Milne be held on $75,000 bail, stating that “the blatant racist motivations behind the defendant’s actions, the extreme nature of this property destruction, the disregard for individuals who were inside the building, and the lack of remorse gives the State significant community safety concerns.” The court eventually decided to set bail at $30,000.
