Moments after a judge imposed a $1 million cash or surety bond on a 17-year-old defendant charged with murder, the teen asked the judge whether he would consider reducing the amount.
Christopher Shawn Pattillo, who was 16 when the victim was fatally shot, made a first appearance Tuesday before Shawnee County District Judge William Ossmann.
A $1 million surety bond would require $100,000 to $150,000 payment to secure release from jail.
