Who is telling the truth?
Judges are not allowed to defend themselves.
The image of the document suggests that the State allowed the defendant to post bond with conditions.
Defense attorney Cheryl Irvin spoke against the Houston Police Officer’s Union statement on Judge Unger. She tells FOX 26 that the judge was not involved in setting Francis’ bond back in November 2024.
“This is not an isolated case. Judge Unger has a history of prioritizing criminals over victims, undermining law enforcement, and making our streets more dangerous. And let’s not forget – she is up for re-election in 2026. If we don’t stop judges like her now, we will continue to see repeat offenders and violent criminals emboldened by a system that refuses to hold them accountable. This is not just about one case. It’s about a broader, systemic failure that has turned Harris County into a national example of what happens when rogue judges put ideology over justice. The release of a capital murder suspect – especially one charged with killing a law enforcement officer – is a slap in the face to every deputy, police officer, and citizen who believes in the rule of law.”
They believe Francis did not shoot
A felony judge set bail for a man accused of killing a Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputy at $3 million — tripling the amount given months earlier to an accused accomplice whom authorities believe never fired a shot.
