Colo. judge sets bail at $10,000 for woman accused of punching JetBlue flight attendant
DENVER (AP) -- A federal magistrate in Denver says a woman accused of punching a flight attendant in the face can be released on $10,000 bond but says she can't travel on planes or drink alcohol.Christina Elizabeth Szele of Woodside, N.Y., was arrested June 17 on charges of assault and interfering with flight attendants on a JetBlue flight from New York to San Francisco.
The FBI says she shouted obscenities and racial epithets at a flight attendant who tried to stop her from smoking. Szele allegedly broke through plastic handcuffs that flight attendants used to restrain her and punched an attendant in the jaw, prompting the captain to divert the flight to Denver.
The magistrate set Szele's bail Monday. Officials say they don't yet know if she's been released.

How does this bond thing work. I've heard that one need only put up 10% of the figure which would mean she only has to put up $1,000?

Bail is only set very high if the accused is a flight risk or the crime is Capital or severe otherwise . Additionally, Colorado courts are liberal and liberals like to give a lot of rights to criminals.

It is my understanding that the usual deal with a bail bonding agency is that the accused puts up 10% and the bonding agency puts up the rest. When the accused shows up for trial, the bonding agency gets it all and the accused loses the $1000 to the agency. If the accused doesn't show up, the bonding agency loses the $10,000 and goes after the accused for that loss.

And if that's not clear watch Dog the Bounty Hunter on A+E, oh wait, didn't that get canceled because he lost his temper and made some racial comments....

Hard to find a good woman that likes slapping an aircrew member. Anyone have her phone number?:nuts:

Shame we don't have a little airlock so we did not have to divert. It would be more efficient and reduce inconvenience for the other passengers if the lady could simply be ejected over Denver.

Bars don't have to drive their customers home after a brawl.

Check on the Smoking Gun, I think they had her arrest report and mug shot on there...

How about teach the flight attendants how to kick the hell out of some unruly idiot and when they land, they can haul his or her ass off to jail and when the lawsuit comes around tell them next time do as your told !!

SmokingGun.com By the looks of her, she probably has a couple of arrests for hooking down on Hollywood Boulevard. Gach...uke:
