Description
Appellant was charged by indictment with the offense of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, namely cocaine, in an amount over 400 grams. The trial court originally set bail in the amount of $10,000,000.00. Appellant filed an application for pre-trial writ of habeas corpus seeking a reduction of bond. After a hearing on appellant's application, the trial court reduced the amount of bond to $2,500,000.00, an amount greater than the reduction requested by appellant. In a single point of error, appellant contends the bond set by the trial court, though reduced, is oppressively high and violates his rights under the United States and Texas Constitutions. We affirm.
