BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) - A Baldwin County judge has reduced the
more than $1 million bail for a man charged with killing his wife
on Father's Day, but the man's son does not want him to be
released.
Michael Ross of Foley said he fears for himself and his two
brothers after a judge reduced 68-year-old David Mumford's bond to $107,500. Terms of release include electronic monitoring
and Mumford must remain in his Foley home except for doctor and
lawyer visits.
The 22-year-old Ross has temporary custody of his brothers, ages
12 and 15. He expressed concern that his father would try to come
after them.
Circuit Judge Charles Partin reduced the bail after Mumford
testified that spending time in jail was straining his heart
condition.
He hadn't posted bail as of Friday morning.
