Description
In three separate indictments appellant has been charged with the murder of two individuals, under V.T.C.A. Penal Code, § 19.02(a)(1), and with capital murder for having murdered them both during the same criminal transaction, V.T.C.A. Penal Code, § 19.03(a)(6)(A). Bail was set at $2,000,000.00, an aggregate amount covering all three charged offenses. Appellant brought a habeas corpus action seeking to reduce the bail amount, but the district court denied relief. On appeal, the Waco Court of Appeals held in an unpublished opinion that, considering the guidelines of Article 17.15, V.A.C.C.P., bail was excessive, and ordered it reduced to $1,000,000.00. Ludwig v. State, No. 10-90-118-CR (Tex.App. - Waco, delivered August 23, 1990). In his petition for discretionary review appellant contends that the bail amount is still excessive, and that the court of appeals erred in considering a threat he made against the mother of the murder victims as a circumstance justifying the reduced, but still excessive bail. We granted appellants petition pursuant to Tex.R.App.Pro., Rule 200(c)(6).
