Tyquan Samuel Wills. Sr., 21 of Lexington Park
UPDATE 10/10/2020: When asked about the release of Tyquan Samuel Wills. Sr., State’s Attorney, Richard Fritz provided SMNEWSNET with the following Quotes.
“This office has been complaining about the bonding process for years. Between the Maryland legislature and the courts, it is most difficult to hold anyone except the most violent criminals in jail. In the case under consideration my assistant objected to any bond and asked the court to hold him without bond. The court released him over our objection. This is an example of the legislature, controlled by liberal Democrats, being criminal friendly, and hamstringing the courts and the prosecutors from protecting our community.”
Fritz went on to say, “that our democratic Attorney General has even stretched the constitution so far as to have concluded that monetary bonds are unconstitutional.”
