Mrs. Strout, in the police
report you stated...

:53:04
that you had witnessed
the firearm discharge.

:53:11
Did you witness
the firearm discharge?

:53:32
I thought you said there'd be
ajury trial sometime in October.

:53:35
If he was incarcerated...
:53:37
the judge would have set
an October court date...

:53:40
to save the county the cost
of housing him as an inmate.

:53:43
But with bail, unfortunately,
the court date is always later.

:53:49
You mean there's nothing
we can do about this?

:53:51
You let him walk out,
and we're supposed to sit here?

:53:55
We can't appeal bail.
It 's just not set up that way.

:53:59
The state's bail code is to ensure
future court appearances.

:54:03
In this case, Strout 's family put up
a great amount of property as bail.

:54:09
That, along with his ties
to the community...

:54:12
made it hard to convince the judge
there was a risk of flight.

:54:16
Now, you can file a civil suit.
I recommend it.

:54:20
But not now.
After the criminal trial.

:54:23
And when will that be?
:54:25
Well, honestly, could be
anywhere from 12 to 18 months.

:54:31
My God.
:54:33
You're confident you can put him
away for good then, right?

:54:47
The things she said in there.
:54:50
What 's the damage?
:54:55
The way this is going,
potentially... manslaughter.
