Murder suspect posts $35M bail, upsetting victim's family

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — A Chinese real estate scion charged with
orchestrating the murder of her children's father was released from a San
Francisco Bay Area jail Thursday after posting $35 million bail, a highly
unusual financial transaction that startled and angered the victim's family
and friends.
Tiffany Li will remain out of custody after family, friends and business
associates of her mother raised $4 million cash and pledged San Francisco
Bay Area properties valued a combined $62 million to post her bail. Courts
require double the bail amount when property is pledged instead of cash.
"Nothing about this seems right," said Angela Dunn, a close friend of the
victim who shared her home with him in the six months before his death. Dunn
said the victim's mother is taking Li's release especially hard.
Court records show 15 properties being pledged. Li's attorney Carr said the
properties are owned by family and business associates of Li's mother, who
spends most of her time in China where she profited from real estate
investments there.
Li, 31, is charged with directing her boyfriend and another man to kill
Keith Green, 27, and dispose of his body, which was found in May with a
bullet wound to the neck 80 miles (129 kilometers) north of the suburban San
Francisco mansion he and Li once shared with their two young daughters.
Prosecutors say Li feared she would lose custody of her daughters. Li and
the two men were arrested shortly after Green's body was found and the trio
is scheduled to stand trial in September. Li has pleaded not guilty.
A bodyguard ushered Li out of jail and into a waiting Cadillac Escalade
Thursday afternoon, three hours after a judge ordered her released. The two
men charged in the case remain in jail and haven't asked for bail to be set
because they don't have the financial backing Li has, Li's attorney Geoff
Carr said.
"They have great resources and we are just regular folks," Dunn said.
The cash bail system in the United States has been under legal and
legislative attack in recent years. A number of class action lawsuits have
been filed across the country challenging the constitutionality of requiring
defendants to post cash bail to go free before trial. Critics of the system
argue that cash bail schemes like the one found in California state court
unfairly disadvantage poor suspects who can't afford to post bail while
allowing wealthy defendants like Li to go free pending trial.
Authorities in neighboring San Francisco County say they are examining cash
bail requirements there after inmates filed a lawsuit.
Two California legislators have introduced bills seeking to dramatically
overhaul the state's bail requirements, eliminating cash requirements in
most cases and taking into account a suspect's income in cases still
requiring money bail.
The California lawmakers and supporters of their bills argue that the
current system keeps many innocent people behind bars, disproportionately
affects minority defendants and encourages some suspects to plead guilty
simply to get out of jail.
Li is charged with directing her boyfriend Kaveh Bayat and Olivier Adella to
kill and dispose of Green's body last year. Li and Green had an acrimonious
split in October 2015 after Green discovered Li's relationship with Bayat,
Dunn said.
Li kicked Green out of the multimillion dollar home they shared with their
children in Hillsborough, a suburb of mansions and large houses 20 miles (32
kilometers) south of San Francisco.
Carr said all defendants except those accused of death penalty-eligible
crimes are entitled to "reasonable bail."
The $35 million bail is the highest ever in San Mateo County's history, a
county official said.
say she feared losing custody of her young children to Green.
San Mateo District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said he's concerned Li is a
flight risk and is disappointed the judge didn't set the bail even higher.
His office asked for a $100 million bail.
"If convicted she faces the rest of her life in prison," Wagstaffe said. "
That's plenty enough incentive to flee back to her native China."
Li will be required to turn over her passports, wear an electronic monitor
and remain under house arrest.
Carr says the people who posted Li's bail believe she is innocent and will
not flee. If she does go on the lam, the court can confiscate the property
and cash. | l*****k
