Wall continued Miller’s bail at $2 million, the amount originally set in county Municipal Court following his arrest. The high bail was requested by Matthew Joseph, assistant county prosecutor, who cited the seriousness of the charges and the need to protect the safety of the community.
Wall said the $2 million bail was justified by the seriousness of the charges and the firearms specifications attached to four of the charges.
