Anything Your Attorney Says Can Be Used Against You
Tiffany Li, 31, is being held (along with her boyfriend) in the San Mateo County, Calif., jail, accused of shooting her husband to death. She is eligible for bail, but her bail is $35 million, apparently because she is a flight risk since her family lives in China, and “Our belief is her family wealth is in the $100 million to $150 million range,” says District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. Her family hasn’t put up her bail, but “nearly 20 friends, family and business associates” are pledging their real estate holdings to secure her release. The rules in such a case say that the total value must be double the bail amount, so about $70 million in property is being pledged. “I was surprised at the number of people that came forward,” says Li’s attorney, Geoffrey Carr. “She is well-liked in the community and is a straight shooter.” (RC/Los Angeles Times) ...Isn’t that what got her in trouble in the first place?Original Publication Date: 16 April 2017
