Hey, Judge Melinda Morris, if Harry Pittman bolts, we'll come to you first

And YOU can serve his time. YOU are on the hook until this trial ends for his whereabouts, kitty kat.

You let a man charged with MURDER, someone accused of being involved in a shotgun murder out on the street, with wild claims back and forth he WOULD try to escape if let out of jail, on a $10,000 bond. He's already fled in this case once.

Pittman's attorney said if he had to wear a tether, there would be no way he could possibly flee. Judge Melinda Morris agreed. Maybe Judge Morris should spend some time reading the Michigan Department of Corrections webpage if she thinks a tether is foolproof:

ESCAPE2: Prisoners who escaped from a non-secure or non-prison location, such as a corrections center or who broke their electronic tethers, are given this designation. Escapees pose a direct threat to the health, safety and welfare of any person, household or community. To report an escapee, please send email to:Corrweb@Michigan.gov.

So, until he shows up in court, Judge, you're on the hook to the community at large.

We're going to give the YCD final word to the mother of the victim in this case Leo Weathers, Ms. Latonya Wiseman:

"It's total bull, how do you get $10,000 bond on a felony murder charge? I'm outraged."
