Rape is one of the most horrible crimes in the world.
But, there has to be a better way to assess bail in this country, people like Brock Turner who admitted and witnesses saw him raping someone gets lower bail and basically no time in jail. Whereas someone like Mystikal gets higher bail than murderers. With that being said if Mystikal committed this crime making him a repeat offender he should never see the outside of the jail again.
This isn’t about letting Mystikal go free, this is about making sure when people are accused of these terrible crimes they bails are consistent no matter their skin color.
The indictment Tuesday charges 46-year-old Michael Lawrence Tyler, who goes by the name Mystikal, with one count each of first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping.
His bond has been set at $3 million.
Tyler is one of three people who were wanted in connection with an assault Oct. 22 at a casino in the 300 block of Clyde Fant Memorial Parkway in downtown Shreveport.
Indicted in the same case are:
Averweone Darnell Holman, 26, of Shreveport, on one count each of first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping. His bond has been set at $3 million.
Tenichia Monieck Wafford,42, of Harker Heights, Texas, on one count of obstruction of justice. Her bond is set at $500,000.
