Well, apparently there was a bond hearing yesterday for my "alleged" rapist. His attorney asked for the bond to be reduced from $2 million to $300,000. In Illinois, there is a 10% rule - you have to present 10% of your bond amount in cash to be released. His wife said she could come up with the $30,000 cash if the bond was dropped to $300,000.
Well, the judge decreased the bond, but only to $1 million. Apparently they can't come up with $100,000 cash, so he's still in jail.
Here are a couple articles about all this lovely stuff - even better, the Pantagraph let's you leave comments.

In other news - keep me in your thoughts for another reason - I have to go in for a procedure to check for pre-cancerous cervical cells - and this could very well be related to the assault - although we will never know for sure. Pray I don't have flashbacks or a massive panic attack during the procedure.
